He was the Polish League three-point contest winner in 2007.

Przybyszewski (215, 29) posted 3.9 points and 2.8 boards last season for Energa Czarni Slupsk. He played college basketball at Vanderbilt University in the United States between 2001 and 2005 and has since suited up for Polpak Swiecie, Stal Ostrow, Kotwica Kolobrzeg and Czarni Slupsk in the Polish League, for Lami-Ved Kormend in Hungary and for BSC Raiffeisen Furstenfeld in Austria.
