So the NBA and the NBA experts who are projecting him at a certain draft pick don't know as much as you on the player? Never understood that.

Sometimes, yes, lol. There are a lot of really bad talent evaluators in the NBA.
There are a lot of "experts" out there who will tell you what you want to hear.
That would make us more knowledgeable since Iowa fans don't watch MBB . . . .
Sandfort didn't shoot it very well yesterday. Side note but still makes me laugh they make you shoot 10 free throws at the NBA combine.
Right. You get outside the lottery even in deeper drafts than this one and it is pretty much a crap shoot. Look at Kris Murray this past season. He was still a first rounder but not lottery and was pretty much unplayable the first half-3/4 of the season even on a **** Trailblazers team. Talen Horton Tucker would be another example as well, he was a surprise one and done here for us and went early 2nd round only to become a journeyman who barely played down the stretch this past season as well.
Both are better players than Sandfort. LOL
To be fair, the NBA scouts and experts seem to miss a lot... They aren't as stubborn on older kids as they were 5 years ago. They were OBSESSED with the 18-20 yr old projects and a lot of really good college players never even got a shot.
Yes and even they are saying he is a good early 2nd round draft choice in his 3rd year. It's not like he is a one and done. BTW the one that confuses me the most is Johnny Furfey. I didn't see him do anything that would lead me to believe his is a high level NBA player after one year.
I agree. Furphy seems like a guy that could definitely use at least one more season of college basketball, but the NBA seems more and more content to draft guys like this early and let them develop on their benches and in G League.
Sandfort will need to put on about 30 pounds of muscle to fit in the NBA. Right now, CC could do one of her patented "shove a player to the floor" moves on him.
Less than 50% of players outside the lottery have long careers and half that if they are a second round pick. Saying he might be a second round pick isn't saying much, especially in this draft. Teams are hoping to get lucky at that point. We'll see if someone even thinks he is worth a long shot. I have my doubts.
A CC cross over drive would have Sandfort either grabbing her as she went by, or fumble footing on his butt on the floor.
I am agreeing with you but I am also fascinated by how misguided Boomers and Gen Xers are in general about the NBA draft. They don't really learn either.
Right. Her spring-loaded chicken wing maneuver would send him bouncing off the floor. I’d somewhat enjoy seeing that.
Am I missing something? I’ve seen the Sandfort kid play 6-8 times now, and he’s not even a good player, let alone an NBA player. He’s a spot up shooter who’s not even very good at that. He doesn’t do anything else even average. He’d play 5 minutes off the bench at most for ISU.
That isn't saying much. Omaha Biliew will probably be on an NBA roster within the next couple years and he couldn't find minutes playing for TJ either
a journeyman with over 33 million career earnings
