Brandin Podziemski - Santa Clara

[EvanZ]

Podz 100% reminds me of a smaller Bogdan Bogdanovic. Not very athletic, not very fast, but has good handles and playmaking abilities for you on the wing. They rely on finesse and shooting. Can play on or off the ball. He's a 1st round talent despite the level of competition he played against. No one penalized Williams, and i don't think you can penalize Podz either for the level of competition.

A smaller version of someone who probably wouldn’t be in the league if he was smaller?

lol are you trolling? you're underselling Bogdan's skills and talent to devalue my comparison for Podziemski.

No, I'm stating a fact which is that guys like Bogdan are valuable because they have enough size to overcome athletic limitations. When you say someone is a smaller version of that guy, it's not a compliment. It's like saying someone is a worse shooting version of Steph Curry.

Yep. Bogdan has a near 7 foot wingspan as well. Also seems to be a better athlete.

I just think he struggles get separation at the college level and to me, that is not a good sign for a player expected to be a creator at the NBA level.

That's what screens are for.

Uh, NBA defenses do not work like that man. Most NBA bigs will simply be able to switch on to him off any screen with no problem.

I think the bigs will have a problem switching onto him, he can also pass really well back to the big. He shoots so well no one is going under a screen.

Trex arms lol

Trex arms lol

6'5.5" is trex arms now lol.

I am sure he would be much better with a 6'6.5" wingpan.

I mean 6'6.5" is also t-rex.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Every inch matters"? It's actually true, especially in the NBA. Inches can make all the difference and often do.

btw he clearly tanked his standing reach measurement to get that vert score

Trex arms lol

despite that he had one of the highest max vertical reaches of any sg in the draft.

Yeah saw the same, 2nd worst standing reach at 6-4 makes no sense.

Jacquez was even worse when you dive into numbers.

He seems to have done pretty well in the athletic testing overall. Doesn't show up much in his game, but maybe there's scope to get him to show more burst on court.

For now I'm still lukewarm on him.

Some guys test well like Grayson Allen but it doesn’t translate in game.

podz isn't a workout warrior though. his status as a prospect is based on elite production.
