Eight games into the season (yes, a sample size to small to make any real generalization), Podziemski has put up AMAZING numbers.
From the shooting guard position and in only 14 minutes a game, he’s dropping 7/4/2 a game on 50/50/85 splits (about half his shots are from the arc).
Given how limited his playing time is, it seems like they’ve just thrown him into the fire, and he’s thriving.
Curious to see how he develops/plays going forward.
Great BBIQ and positioning. He’s gonna struggle on defense due to his size and lack of athleticism.
On offense he’s gonna be a good bench piece for a long while thanks to his insane feel for the game. His passing is very good and has good decision making on the ball.
His rim finishing and floater game might be his x factor: If he can grow that he’ll be legit, else he’ll keep getting stuffed at the rim.
His 3pt shot still isn’t lethal, so we need to wait for more games to evaluate.
