Sometimes in the NBA I feel it's better to have 1 elite skill vs just being good but not great at everything. Sandfort could have that in shooting and his release is so quick that he doesn't need a lot of room. He still needs to get alot better defensively if he's going to even be a 10th-12th man but I don't think anyone thought Korver would be 15 year player
Lol 37% from deep is far from elite
Something tells me you never watched Korver in college.
I like Sandfort. But he wont get anything approaching volume state-side, and he still disappears at times.
College Basketball >>>>>> NBA
I agree. He's not even hitting at a high enough clip yet to warrant a draft pick because shooting is the only trait he's going to be drafted for. He needs to get to a 40% clip next year.
Korver was a consensus all american and 2 time valley player of the year back when the valley was a strong conference. Comparing Sandfort to him in any way is laughable.
All the time. Korver had elite shooting. Much more consistent than Peyton. Korver lasted so long because he had 1 supreme skill though and then worked on the other areas to be serviceable. That's what Sandfort will have to do.
Not nearly as athletic or good defensively as joe. Joe was way more passive though.
In what world is Sandfort an elite shooter and in any way comparable to Korver? Sandforts best shooting year, this year, is still only 38% from 3 and he plays in an offensive system where he only has to play token defense. Korvers worst shooting year was 43% and he shot 48% his senior year. Thats 10% better than anything Sandfort has done. Korver was elite throughout his whole college career and then took another leap in the pros. Sandfort isn't in the same stratosphere as Korver. It's a dumb comparison.
I'm not comparing them. I'm saying sandfort needs to follow the korver playbook. He needs to improve his 3 point shooting and try to make it by having an elite skill. That's what I said. I've already said Sandfort needs to improve his shooting percentage if he plans on making it in nba because that's only thing that will get him drafted. If you can have 1 elite skill you can play in the NBA was point I'm making. I wouldn't call Sandfort’s shooting elite yet but why he's being shown in mock drafts is because some people project him to become that.
He's closer to Adam Emmenecker than Korver.
Even though he was a good player he could of been better I think we agree I that
Ok, fine. Yes, if he follows Korvers playbook, raises his 3 point percentage by 10%, and magically becomes one of the best shooters in the game in the last year and a half of his college career his pro prospects will go way up. Point taken. Of course you can make this point about literally any other college player, but your fantasyland logic is unassailable I guess.
Yes he needs to be one of the best shooters in the game that's exactly it. Why do you think he's listed on mock drafts? For his defense? Or do you think maybe people smarter than us think with his shot he can become a knock down shooter?
