Brandin Podziemski is far from a household name, and he carries that same quiet presence on the court as well. But his name is picking up steam in the buildup to this year’s draft after a solid showing at the NBA Combine.
After transferring from Illinois following a season with just 69 game minutes, Podziemski hit the ground running at Santa Clara. In a breakout sophomore season, he averaged 19.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
His efficiency from all areas of the floor in 2022-23 is what is currently wowing scouts and bloggers alike.
