Draft Notes

Sandfort is one of the best if not the best pure shooters in the draft. He’s got a picture perfect release, shoots it with great balance and is lethal from downtown.

He’s got good size for a 3pt sniper at 6-7 and a solid frame. He’s not a plus athlete but is an all around good enough athlete to play his role at the NBA level.

He gives good effort on defense and hits the boards hard. An underrated rebounder.

Sandfort is an elite FT shooter who could be one of the best in the league. He doesn’t get to the line all that often but when he does he’s lethal.
