Brandin Podziemski

Draft Notes

Brandin is one of the better outside shooters in his class and has been a scoring machine at the high school level. After not seeing opportunity at Illinois he transferred to Santa Clara.

He’s got good size for the SG position but is more of a below the rim athlete who relies on his skill level, BBIQ and elite shooting touch to get buckets.

The 6-5 lefty projects as a 3pt specialist at the next level and will have to round out the rest of his game and improve his athleticism to reach his ceiling.
