Payton Sandfort, F, iowa

Height: 6-8 • Weight: 215 • Class: Senior • Age: 22

Summary: Sandfort is a beautiful shooter from the hook that is able to switch off shots from anywhere. Although his figures immerse yourself as a senior in Iowa, he played a broken wrist and torn Labrums on both shoulders! But when he is healthy, he could make a spark as a member of the Clipper's bank.

Compare: Sam Hauser

Strengthen

Shoot: Elite-spot-up shooter, which moves into open space with fast, self-confident mechanics and is of profound. The defense cannot lose any overview. He is also able to meet Side Step jumper and pull-ups with medium areas with a smooth release.

Go over: Never plays outside of himself as a good decision -maker with the ball. But with a growing role every season, he showed that he is more than just a fundamental decision -maker who has his feeling for the opening of teammates of drives.

Effort: Brings consistent intensity in defense and moves off well for his position.

Issue

Creation of shot: No primary creator and may have difficulty creating a clean look against the length.

Advertising

Defense: He has restrictions that defend itself in space and does not change the direction so well. He could be hunted in switch at the next level.
