One of the big risers of this draft, Brandin Podziemski should be another target for the Miami Heat with the 18th pick. His evolution throughout the year at Santa Clara was noticeable, as he kept climbing big boards, after transferring from Illinois. A special shooter at the guard position the Heat could look to in order to renew their backcourt.
PHYSICAL PROFILE
Measured at just under 6’5 and with a 6’5 ½ wingspan, Podziemski doesn’t really pop physically. He’s not a high-flyer who will soar above defenders, in fact he doesn’t really possess much verticality, playing his game closest to the floor.
