So, he can't be a major contributor this season because he has 3 more seasons?
Payton Sandfort

Payton has perfect form on his shot. He will be a force to reckon with in the years to come.
He has been getting better, and if Iowa makes the dance, it'll need him because of the quick turnaround games. Iowa is building nice depth, and a variety of skills in that depth.
Didn't say that, did I? I said "It's one game. He's still learning and making great strides." What I didn't say but could have is that he's not there yet. I don't know if anyone else noticed but after he was in for about 3 minutes, he appeared to be asking to come out. The guy is leaving it all on the floor and getting gassed fairly quickly. That is pretty normal for most freshmen. He'll be ready for longer minutes next year.
Love his potential. GREAT shooter.. .and good enough instincts and athleticism to defend and rebound for his position. I'm going to predict he finishes up right behind Bohannon on the all-time 3 point record list. He also needs more playing time now. Kid needs to play 15-20 minutes a game.
Some poster mentioned his brother is a Drake lean at this point, not true !
Sometimes, he rushes his shot. Sometimes, so does JBO. Too much of a premium on, "Wow, he gets his shot off quick -- makes it hard to block."
whoa, slow down there, chief. if our history has shown us anything under fran, it's we only need 2 (maybe) games worth of depth, unfortunately.
I have the same feeling about Sandfort as I had about Jok as a freshman, when everyone complained Jok was out of shape and questioned his potential. Sandfort has an absolutely perfect shot, best looking since Jok (sorry, Jbo & Weiskamp). And he's shown versatility in shooting, its not all 3 points shots, although that's obviously his strength. Moreover, I think he may be the best passer on the team, or maybe second behind Connor. He's just going to have a fabulous career, I think we got another Fran special.
Guard depth can't hurt. This team needs a lot of depth there if they are going to press their way to the sweet 16.
We all were for about a second.
Dom was high for well over a second.
Know the uncle of the Sandforts. He fills me in on some things. Pryce, has Iowa right up there and I know that I am not breaking any news, but he will be surprised if its not Iowa for Pryce. He did say that Pryce and Payton for that matter, really like DeVries at Drake and if he coached at a major D1 program it would be a hard decision.
Reminds me of Duncan Robinson. Guy transferred to Michigan and shot it well. Everything for him seemed to run off of his jumper. Then, boom, he's in the NBA draining threes.
It's mid February and Payton might be getting close the freshman wall. He flushes easily and is red faced, which I think makes him seem more winded, but I agree with the above post, the kid leaves it all on the floor.
Maybe. Still a long way to go between his 24 made three's and Horner's 262 makes, (who I believe is number 2 at iowa). Yes I think he's earned a few more minutes, BUT here's the rub that everyone seems to be dancing around. Basically he's a 3 or maybe a 4. In those spots you have Keegan, (no brainer), and Pat who is really coming on. Then you have Kris who everyone wants to see play more. Yes the twins can play some 5 against certain lineups but probably not against Michigan, Purdue, or Illinois. Who's minutes does PS take? 20 minutes? How? Then we hear the play PS or Kris at the 2 spot. Just don't think they , especially PS could defend the 2 without getting destroyed.
Oh man. I had forgotten about Dom Uhl. His career was very forgettable. Showed flashes of a solid game but never put it all together.
Dude there's no way. Jordan played extensively as a freshman and is around for his sixth season.
He said BEHIND Jbo. I take his comment "right behind" to mean the #2 spot. That would be Jeff Horner's spot at 262 made three's, which is doable, but he needs 238 more three's in just over 3 seasons. He'll need to make basically two per game the rest of his career IF he plays 20-25 minutes per the next three seasons I think he'll have a shot at that. We know he's going to take his shots when he's out there.
Already have.
Kris has played the 5 spot almost exclusively against every opponent.
Glad he's not playing for the Utah Utes! That is a crazy shooting display.
Fantastic shooting. Pa S is going to be a killer if he get's that up fake on dribble jumper down. You know defenders, usually smaller will be defending the three pointer.
