NBA Rookie Power Rankings: Why Victor Wembanyama reigns supreme
Bobby Marks/Kevin Pelton, ESPN+
The one factor in Podziemski's value that remains constant even when his shooting fluctuates is drawing charges. Podziemski has drawn 33 this season to lead the league, per NBA Advanced Stats. No other rookie has taken more than 13 charges (Portland's Toumani Camara). That's one reason the Warriors outscore opponents by 6.6 points per 100 possessions with Podziemski on the court, far and away the best mark for any rotation player.
