It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Brandin Podziemski this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Golden State Shooting Guard.
Should You Draft Brandin Podziemski in Fantasy Basketball?
Brandin Podziemski enters 2025-26 with momentum — and a clearer path to fantasy relevance. In 2024-25 he averaged 11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 3-pointers, and 1.1 steals in 26.8 minutes per game.
In 33 games as a starter, he put up 14.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.3 3-pointers, and 1.0 steals on 44.7/39.2/74.6 shooting splits. In Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the playoffs, Podziemski erupted for 28 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 3-pointers, and 2 steals while shooting 57.9% from the field and 66.7% from deep.
His fantasy performance will depend heavily on his role and efficiency. With Moses Moody dealing with a calf injury, Podziemski could return to the starting lineup early in the season depending on Moody’s availability. But even if he’s in the sixth-man role, he still has significant fantasy value with his points, 3s, rebounds, assists, steals, and efficiency.
