Men's NCAA basketball player rank: 2024-25 preseason top 100: #47 Payton Sandfort, #63 Keshon Gilbert, and unranked Curtis Jones.

He got absolutely clowned at the combine last year. Highly doubtful.
Korver in his worst shooting season shot just under 43% from 3. Sandfort hasn’t done close to that. Korver was a 45% shooter from deep in his college career. He was just as filthy in the NBA most years, too. I don’t think you understand how good of a 3pt shooter you need to be to make that a successful career at that level. Especially if that’s is all you bring to the table.
Sandfort is a career 36% 3pt shooter. That’s bad for a player whose 3pt shooting is supposed to be his strength. Please stop with making him out to be some sharp shooter. Plus he is extremely unathletic which is crazy and embarrassing for a D1 athlete with all the training resources at his disposal.
Sandfort is a very good shooter, but he takes a ton of shots and also shoots a lot of low percentage ones. He's going to be "the guy" for Iowa this year outside of Freeman, and we'll see how that transpires. He's horrific defensively though and is pretty unathletic. I think he's a less talented and less athletic Weiskamp.
He is not even close to being as good as Kyle Korver was in college. It's not even a fair comparison. Kyle was 1st team All-American his senior year.

Many of the posters here are men. They often exaggerate the size of things....
Hard to take this list seriously with Dickinson at 4 and sandfordt ahead of Gilbert for startersJust wow. Sandfort ranked higher thank Gilbert or Jones. Sandfort is an offensive player that cannot play a lick of defense.
The 100 best men's players entering the new season
After a lot of number-crunching -- and a legit debate for the No. 1 spot -- these are the names to watch as the 2024-25 season begins.www.espn.com
I would take cujo, lipsey, chill and gilbert over sandfort. A better question would be are you picking cujo or gilbert first?
FWIW, Field of 68 has ISU their #5 team, Tamin as there #3 PG in the country (behind Mark Sears from Alabama and Braden Smith from Purdue). They are also doing a top 100 player count down, only at player 51 as of now, so far only ISU player on their top 100 is Joshua Jefferson (#98). I expect Tamin, Keshon, CuJo, and Milan names to be called in coming days.
This thread guarantees sandfort will make 8 threes against us in Iowa city.
Holy **** that is an understatement to say Korver has better shooting stats. 45.3% from three for Korver vs 36.5% for Sandfort on 25% more attempts as well. For reference when the line moved back, average 3pt percent dropped something like 1-1.5%. Korver was a way better player even if they may be physically and stylistically similar
Korver could at least bench press the bar. No ******* way that weakling can play a lick of defense, or create his shot in the NBA.

As time increases, the probability that all conversations (no matter the initial topic) on Cyclone Fanatic become Iowa State/Iowa flame wars approaches one.

Pfft, it will all be played out during the season, I guess Sandfort is ok would I trade him for any of our 1st 8 nope.
