Prospect Pitch is a series I created to give draft enthusiasts an opportunity to sell me on a prospect they are higher on than the masses.

I play the role of an NBA GM who has yet to pay attention to college scouting, and I ask each guest all the important characteristics and attributes about the prospect they’re pitching.

The goal is to be creative with draft content and more importantly give guests a platform to showcase their knowledge of scouting and evaluating talent.

My third guest is Chuck from the Chucking Darts Podcast, who believes Santa Clara sophomore Brandin Podziemski is worthy of a first round pick.

Podziemski has been lighting opposing defenses up all season averaging 19 points 8 rebounds and 3 assists on 47/43/79 shooting splits.
