• [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Draymond Green faces gigantic test in slowing Victor Wembanyama's NBA MVP train
  SAN FRANCISCO – When the Warriors step on the Chase Center court Wednesday, they’ll confront not only the streaking San Antonio Spurs but also Victor Wembanyama’s white-hot pursuit of the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award. If only they had 7-foot-2 Kristaps Porziņģis to partner with Draymond Green as a tag-team duo defending the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama. Nope. It’s Draymond. Despite Golden State’s mediocre (36-39) 2025-26 NBA season, he is waging his own awards campaign. to the NBA All-Defensive team. At 36, he would join only six others – all in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame – to accomplish such a feat. Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows how much it means for Green and is giving him every opportunity. In this instance, that means Green going nose-to-navel with Wembanyama. “Draymond will start on him,” Kerr said Tuesday. “Draymond is always going to be our best matchup for anybody. I’m sure KP will end up on him, too. You need size against Wemby. You need rim protection. It’s an incredibly unique challenge, but more versatility you have defensively, more guys you can throw at him.” The Warriors don’t have much versatility to throw at Wemby. Porziņģis is not yet cleared to play both sides of a back-to-back set, so he’s scheduled to return Thursday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Golden State’s other two centers, Al Horford (strained right calf) and Quinten Post (sore right foot), also will be spectators. Once again, it’s Green or bust against an opponent’s most imposing threat. At 6-foot-6, 230 pounds, Green is a few pounds lighter than Wembanyama but 10 inches shorter. He is accustomed to operating at a size disadvantage. On Sunday , he was the primary defender on three-time MVP Nikola Jokić, who is listed at 6-foot-11, 284 pounds. Green during a road trip last month also defended Detroit Pistons All-Star center Jalen Duren (6-foot-10, 250) and New York Knicks All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns (7-feet, 248). That came shortly after a three-game span during which Kerr approved Green’s request to defend forward Kawhi Leonard (6-foot-6, 235), forward Kevin Durant (6-foot-11, 240) and point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (6-foot-6, 200). Green was excellent against Leonard and Durant, very good against SGA. But Green, who emphasizing defense when vocalizing his MVP candidacy on March 23, realizes this is an altogether different kind of challenge. There is no precedent for Wembanyama; maybe the closest in the modern NBA being a young Porziņģis. “I tip my cap to Wemby for being willing to sit up there on that platform and say this is why,” Green said a few days ago. “Not hide from the question and say, ‘Oh, man, (voters will) figure it out.’ No, they won’t. I’m happy he’s smart enough to know they won’t figure it out. If you don’t help (voters) see it, dammit they can’t see it. Got blinders on. Because I don’t know how people don’t see this (7-foot-6) whatever you’d like to describe him as, chasing a guard around the 3-point line and then somehow get back to the rim (for the) block.” The Spurs (57-18) have won nine games in a row and are on course to win 60 largely because of Wembanyama. He leads the NBA in blocks, at 3.1 per game, and is fifth in rebounding at 11.4 per game. He’s third on the Spurs in steals (1.1 per game). His 102.9 defensive rating has him tied for second. It’s his offense, though, that Green and the Warriors hope to have a better chance of limiting. Wembanyama is 14th in the league in scoring, averaging 24.5 points on 50.4-percent shooting, including 35.1 percent from distance. He’s shooting 82.2 percent from the line, while adding 3.1 assists. When the , on Feb. 11, Kerr used a three-man rotation of defenders against Wembanyama. Green started at center, with Horford and Post coming off the bench to offer different looks against the 22-year-old Frenchman. Versatility. Not an option this time. The onus, then, is on Green. To give Draymond a breather, Kerr could call upon 7-foot Omer Yurtseven (on his second 10-day contract) or to burn a few minutes against Wembanyama. That won’t necessarily be enough to slow Wembanyama, whose MVP campaign is based not only on individual performance but his role in the Spurs zooming beyond their preseason 44.5 over/under for wins and being within range of the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference. For the Warriors to beat the remote chance of moving higher than 10th place in the West, they must win the two games they’re fully expected to – both against the lowly Sacramento Kings – and beat the odds in at least three of the other five games. And that guarantees nothing. The first such game comes Wednesday night, and the odds against the Warriors are longer than Wemby’s 8-foot wingspan. They’ll need Draymond to spin gold and at least one of his teammates to bottle the wind.
• [NBC Sports Bay Area] - Why Brandin Podziemski's best month of his NBA career is key to Warriors' future
  SAN FRANCISCO – March only sprinkled more salt on the Warriors’ many wounds as the clouds opened and the sun began to shine in the Bay Area. Steph Curry missed a second straight month to runner’s knee, and Moses Moody sustained a devastating torn patellar tendon in his first game back after missing the previous 10 from a sprained wrist. A great win against Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets was followed by a four-game losing streak that included back-to-back, gut-wrenching losses to the lowly Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls. The month included a three-game losing streak, a four-game losing streak and twice as many losses (10) as wins (five). So, where’s the good news aside from beating the Dallas Mavericks, Brooklyn Nets and Washington Wizards? We can promise it wasn’t all doom and gloom. The biggest positive, by far, was . From the outside, Podziemski has become a polarizing figure among Dub Nation. Between the lines, Podziemski enjoyed the best month of his young NBA career. “You always look for silver linings when guys are out and other guys step up,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday after practice. “Whether it’s the minutes for Gui [Santos], for example, allowing him to take another step in his game, or BP having more responsibility handling the ball and seeing more reps, it’s like anything else: You just need to do something over and over and over again to learn the little nuances, to learn what you can and can’t do. “The more reps, the better. And these reps this last month have been great for BP.” Steph would be proud of this one 🙌 — Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) Podziemski played all 15 of the Warriors’ games and averaged 33.5 minutes per game, the most for a month in his three-year NBA career. The month was full of career bests for Podziemski. He averaged his most points per game for a month (17.7) and made his most threes for a month (38), while his 21.3 usage percentage also was his highest ever for a month. Podz from downtown 👌 — Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) In a month where he scored at least 20 points in eight of the 15 games he played, other facets outside of scoring also stood out. Podziemski grabbed 10 rebounds in three games and averaged 6.3 rebounds per game, as well as 4.1 assists per game with twice as many assists (61) than turnovers (30). “Well, No. 1, he’s a competitor,” Kerr says. “He’s there. He’s played every single game, knock on wood. That’s a really hard thing to do, to be there for your team every single game, every practice. He’s a competitor, he loves this. He just wants to be great.” Podz finds Nate Williams in the lane 🤝 — Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) Podziemski’s final game in March, a frustrating , was his fourth straight 20-point game, dropping 23 on 8-of-14 shooting and 5 of 8 from deep, on top of having five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot. He says his scoring surge isn’t top of mind, but instead the result of letting the game come to him. “Not really thinking about that, honestly,” Podziemski told reporters Sunday night in Denver. “Just playing my game, taking opportunities when they’re there and letting the results fall where they may. Fortunately, the result has been looking pretty good as of late for me.” Growing pains still have been visible, including last game when Kerr outwardly was upset Podziemski tried to dribble past Christian Braun and forced a runner with an open Kristaps Porziņģis calling for the ball at the right wing. Porziņģis was 5 of 5 on threes, and the mistake flipped the game in the Nuggets’ favor. Podziemski missed four fourth-quarter free throws in that ugly loss to the Utah Jazz three weeks ago, but then shot 84.2 percent on free throws the rest of the month. he made at the start of the 2025-26 NBA season, when he said he would be the white Shohei Ohtani if he still played baseball, and that he wants to be even better than Steph Curry, was another sign of growth, development and maturity. Podziemski knows confidence is a strength of his, and he knows he should have chosen his words more wisely for the betterment of the team. “I think the growth, you saw it the other day where he admitted, ‘Hey, I shouldn’t have said what I said at the beginning of the year.’ I thought that was great to have the self awareness that, OK, I made a mistake, I got to learn from that,” Kerr said. “It’s all encompassing really when you think about a young player developing. It’s on the floor, it’s off the floor. It’s recognizing patterns and nuances within the game itself, and then it’s recognizing the emotional side of the team and what the team needs from you. The best teams click in a certain way, and every player has to play a role within that to help the team click. I think he’s really learning that.” Whenever in the near future, he’ll go back to being the sun that the Warriors orbit in their solar system. And Podziemski, like the rest of the Warriors, will benefit the second Curry steps on the court. He has shown that h...
