Brandin Podziemski’s season was a clear example of growth over time. He got off to a slow start, struggling to find his rhythm and consistency early on, often looking a step behind the pace of the game. But as the season progressed, he began to settle in and play with more confidence. By the end of the year, Podziemski was making a real impact, scoring more efficiently, making smarter decisions, and showing off his ability to contribute in multiple ways. One of the most underrated parts of his game is his ability to draw fouls, consistently putting pressure on defenses and getting to the line, which added another layer to his offensive game.

Looking ahead, as promising as his finish was, I hope he doesn’t rush into taking a contract that’s too big just yet. The potential is obvious, but consistency is the next step he needs to take. If he can carry that late-season momentum into next year and perform at that level from the start, he’ll prove he’s worth every dollar and maybe even more. For now, staying focused on development and becoming a reliable night-to-night contributor should be the priority, because if he does that, everything else, including the bigger contract, will come naturally.
