On July 10th, two superstars from the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry and Chris Paul were present to watch the Warriors vs. Pelicans game. Unfortunately, the Warriors lost the game with a score of 86-94 to the Pelicans.

The Warriors had a 7-point lead in the first half, but the Pelicans made a comeback in the third quarter, outscoring the Warriors by 10 points. The Pelicans maintained their lead until the end.

Later, the official account of the Warriors revealed that Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton were also watching the game.

The rookies from the Warriors were surely being observed by their senior teammates. However, in this game, only Brandin Podziemski played.

Podziemski, perhaps feeling a bit nervous with his senior teammates watching from the sidelines, had a poor performance in the game. He played for 32 minutes, shooting 3 for 16 from the field, 2 for 7 from beyond the arc, and 0 for 4 from the free-throw line.

He scored only 10 points, with just 1 made field goal out of 7 attempts in the paint. The most surprising statistic was his 2 made free throws out of 4 attempts. This game was Podziemski's least efficient performance in the Summer League.

However, he did contribute with 10 assists, 9 rebounds, and 1 steal. Even when his offensive game wasn't clicking, he was able to help the team by facilitating plays.

In the final quarter, he made a crucial three-pointer to keep the team within reach. Podziemski 's near triple-double performance in this game still had its highlights.

Podziemski was the 19th overall pick in this year's draft, and he signed a four-year, $16.23 million contract with the Warriors. Many fans are envisioning him entering the Warriors' rotation in the upcoming season, as his height of 1.98 meters provides him with a certain advantage.

This 20-year-old rising star hopes to bring a European style of play to San Francisco.

He began playing basketball seven years ago and has earned respect for his basketball talent. Podziemski believes he possesses unique strength.

The Warriors' backcourt currently consists of Curry, Thompson, Paul, Payton, Moody, Joseph, and Podziemski—seven players.

Currently, the Warriors' salary expenditure is $207 million, with a luxury tax of $189 million, totaling $396 million. The Warriors currently have 13 guaranteed contracts in place and three remaining two-way contract spots.

It's possible for the Warriors to become the first team in NBA history with a total salary exceeding $400 million.

With such a massive salary expenditure, maintaining success and winning championships will be crucial.
