Brandin Podziemski transferred from Illinois and is scoring nearly 20 points per game.
Almost no one had any idea when Brandin Podziemski arrived at Santa Clara last summer that he could become the best men’s college basketball player in the Bay Area this season.
“By any measure, he’s had an amazing season,” Sendek said. “Not that we didn’t expect good things from him. We did. He’s obviously put it all together. Right from the get-go he has just had a marvelous season.”“No, I expected a lot from myself,” said Podziemski, who scored more than 2,000 points in high school. “And I’ve always won so I expected that to happen. In terms of my play, I always felt I could play like this — I just needed an opportunity.
Everyone knows him now, and he has posted two more 30-point games, including 38 against Pacific. He is averaging 25 points and converting 50 percent from the 3-point arc over the past five games and his rebounding prowess has allowed him to assemble eight double-doubles.
