Brandin Podziemski's impressive 20-point performance has led to debates about his potential as a starting player. Giannis Antetokounmpo, however, stole the show by setting a new Milwaukee Bucks record with 64 points, achieved on just 28 field goal attempts. This included 20 field goals and 20 free throws, a first in NBA history. The Antetokounmpo brothers, Giannis and Thanasis, combined for a total of 64 points. The game ended in a heated confrontation over the game ball, leading Giannis to sprint down the tunnel towards the Pacers' locker room.

Podz had 20 points (8/13 FG), 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 TO, +17. I'm starting to think he needs to get into the starting lineup.
Podz has 16-10-5 on 7-12 shooting. +18 Dude is good
ANYWAY. Podz is so crazy good. Awesome how he's forced his way into a must-play role so early in his career.
podz can play, man.
