I'm sure he will. The funny thing is the one chink in Keegan's armor last year was getting into frequent foul trouble. Part of it was his defensive aggressiveness but the guy couldn't catch a break from the officials either.
Sandfort

Definitely possible. Even their demeanor on the court is the same. All business.Maybe the officials got him confused with Keegan?
Not quick enough to be Korver.
More Robbie Hummel.
More advanced offensively than I thought he would be and tons of confidence. The pump fakes to get his shot off are nice and will always work for a 6'7 knock down shooter.
Defensely not terrible but not great.

Early but I like that he can finish with his left hand and he has more to his game then just spot up shooter because he can make layups. He can replace a lot of what JoeW/Fredrick gave
us on offense last year.
JoeT/Ulis both look to be huge defensive upgrades over Jbo at PG, but they don't bring a lot of scoring.
With the need for 3pt shooting, I think Sandfort and Kris Murray need a big role--maybe Sandfort can
play some 2G to backup Jbo. Kris probably should be rotating with Pmac/Keegan/Rebacca to keep 3 guys
aroudn 6'8 -6'9 on court at same time.

He reminds me a lot of Matt Gatens. Isn't going to jump off the screen at you as far as pure athleticism but has a great overall game and can do everything well with shooting being their strength.
The phrase "exception that proves the rule" comes to mind. Nash and Stockton are both once in a generation type players.
John Stockton is on a very short list for the best PGs to ever play the game. Tough as nails.
Both great. Would be a good debate over who's better.
Jason Williams was another 6ft whitey.
Sandfort has the best looking shot I’ve seen in an Iowa uniform since Peter Jok. And no, I haven’t forgotten JBo.
I like him. Nice looking shot and he plays with confidence as a freshman. Not bad on defense either for being so young and inexperienced. I know we aren't in Big Ten play yet, but he doesn't look out of position often. He has a good feel where to be and what to do with his body and arms. We need a guy like him on this team. Good recruit
I really like the fact he's not afraid to shoot it too. And he's darn good at it as well it appears. Always hated the 2nd team guys that passed it around until someone has to throw up a prayer with no time left on the shot clock. Sandfort says F that, I got this! Boom!
He's had some nice passes into the paint, couple of nice floaters in these games too. Let's not forget that he shot mid 90's from the free throw line too. More late game money doesn't hurt.
Kid is gonna be a damn good Hawkeye folks. His defense might be suspect for awhile and maybe always, but he passes the eye test big time, regardless of the current competition. He's gonna be a factor for the next 4 years. Book it.
Mohawk may not have forgotten JBo, but he did forget Fredrick.
Hate that he left, but for my money CJ was the best 3baller to ever play for the Hawks.
47% is insane considering we know a good chunk of those 3's were taken off bum wheels. Clutch shots too.
Sandfort will go down as a darn good Hawk though. High and quick release with a lot of touch. Really sees the floor too

Stockton was 6'1" but had freakishly long arms, one source placing his wingspan at 7'6". Enormous hands for a little guy.
Magic has said on several occasions that Stockton was the best "pure" point guard ever and also said Stockton was the play most deserving of breaking Magic's assist record.

I'd take JBo every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Both dealt with injuries but Jordan seemed to be tougher, dependable and loyal
Also CJF wasn't a volume shooter....he seemed to pass up shots that were there.
You couldn't count on Fredrick for a full season and he disappeared in a lot of games because he either'couldn't get his shot off or he was afraid to shoot. Look at his last game vs Oregon...he was useless.
I would agree with a post about Sandfort's athleticism being similar to Gatens, but Sandfort has a good left hand dribble/finish and that is something Gatens never had and neither did Weiskamp.
Much bigger body than Gatens or Joe. Looks great to me. Would love to see him move his feet more on defense. Knew he would not redshirt, need his shooting on this team
Fredrick quit shooting at the end of the season because he was playing hurt. His legs were gone. When he did shoot it was flat
CJ shot such a high per cent because he rarely shot in a hurry. He always had to be wide open and then he would shoot. And with Garza and JBO part of the time, the defense left him open quite a bit.
I really doubt it was limited to just 6'0 because if you want to get nit picky, Scott Skiles is 6'1.
Yes, the opponents haven't been great, but Standfort doesn't play like a freshman. Playing with supreme confidence and can FILL IT UP.
