ESPN NBA Draft Analyst: Payton Sandfort has a Ready-Made Skill for the NBA. Invited to May 12-19 NBA Draft Combine

I’m sorry, but the vertical and athletic ability is whatever to me. Y’all seen Jokic play?
You are comparing Sandfort to Jokic? While I get that Jokic has a poor vertical jump, he is 5-6" taller than Sandfort, weighs 70+ pounds more so can bang, is the best passing big man in the game, handles the ball off the dribble better than Sandfort, and shoots a similar 3pt% to Sandfort, but from the NBA distance, not college. Garza would have been a better comparison, but he has just made a roster in the NBA, and while taller, has a 2" better standing and running vertical. I also see Sandfort compared to Niang, but his vertical, while not great, is 3" better than Sandfort. I also see him compared to Korver, who was almost 4" higher vertical.
