Brandin Podziemski Gatorade 2020 - 2021: Player of the Year Boys Basketball

“Podziemski has made a name for himself as a sharpshooting wing. He shoots the ball with great confidence, regardless of who’s defending him. He’s proven he can knock down momentum-changing three-pointers in groups. With his 6-foot-6 frame and his high motor, he can be a high-level collegiate defender and finisher.”
