Hadn't thought of it till now, but reminds me a bit of James Winter. He played well above his height.
James Winter. Now that's a blast from the past
Regarding Sandfort, yes, everything was really nice until the final execution. He rushed it. That has pretty much been his issue this year when he has had problems. When he settles down and lets the game come to him, he does great.
How dare no one complain after a win.It's really funny when we win. Where are all the trolls? Tony for all B1G and we should keep Fran for a couple of more games until we lose a game. And not one words about Fran playing his kids let alone wasting a couple of scholarships because they are related....Purdue better look out!!!
I think what happens when guys head to the hoop, and see some traffic coming, their eyes trail away just for an instant to see whats coming or to calculate a safe landing, and that instant is enough for then to alter the shot just enough.
Winters was more 6'4" or 5" and even more explosive off the jump. I remember him holding his own quite a bit as Iowa's post player. Not a jump shooter though and don't remember him driving much. He was more of an undersized low block guy for the most part.
Hate to think it but Gard probably has the nod at this point.

Honestly surprised to see him only get one rebound, he’s been pounding the glass lately, sometimes grabbing boards in a sea of bugs. He’s not afraid to play amongst the trees.

Tony, of course, played at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, IN.
What a homecoming for Tony.

I can't recall another player ever that had the kind of "awakening" that TP had a few weeks ago and sustained it. Sure players go off in a game and but return to "normal".
TP went from "well, he's ok", to "Wow!" in one game and hasn't looked back. Impressive!
Maybe he can give some of that magic to Ulis.

The only bug a boo over the last 8 games has been his FT shooting (just 64%). But, dang, he's shooting 53% from 3 and 52% overall from the field.

IMO - TP's strength, athleticism, and ability to penetrate under control in the lane are significant factors in Hawks turnaround.
