Podany is a versatile PG who knows exactly how to use his height to his advantage. Peyton has a silky-smooth touch from the outside. Electric and crafty off-the-bounce with quick pull-up or creative finishes at the rim. Peyton can thrive playing 1-4 effectively. Payton can mix it up on the boards and can drop some sweet dimes. Peyton is very athletic and committed to making his team better. Last season Peyton averaged 14 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds a game. His biggest improvement since last season after growing two more inches is becoming a better shot creator. For the upcoming season, Peyton’s main goal is to lead his team to the state tournament and prove to everyone he is one to be reckoned with.

Kalen’s biggest improvement is pushing the ball down the court after a defensive rebound, fueling a fast-paced transition opportunity for his team and keeping the defense off balance as they can
