He's 37% while having to take all of the garbage end of clock and set play shots.
Totally different role in the NBA plus it's what may be an historically bad draft.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

Another reason he should go into the NBA Draft THIS year.
He can improve and still lose draft position if he stays one more year
In his last three regular season Big 10 games against top opponents he was 4-17 (Whisky, Purdue, Illinois). If he is a first round pick, wow…
Time for the Swarm to step up and give Peyton a big enough NIL to return… just like they did for all Fran’s transfers.
If he has a chance at the 2nd round or a team promises him a two way contract he’s gone
He’s nowhere near the defender Matt Thomas was by the time he was done ant ISU and he had trouble sticking. Better hope he gets first round because I could see him as a second rounder who doesn’t stick. Thomas shot 43% from three his junior year and 45% his senior year to Sandfort’s 38%.
Maybe there’s an out of the ordinary lack of international talent or something.
Any G.M. Who drafts Sanfort should immediately be fired. Wouldn’t even let him clean out his desk.
Spent what little NIL money they had on a backup QB who their fans think is the next Johhny Manziel.
Same with Hornacek for that matter. He was not a "true" walk-on (for lack of better term).
It was a scholarship thing. Idk why, but it kind of gets to me when his name gets lumped in with any run of the mill walk-on with no context.
Go back and look at some of the shots he has to take... He will do really well in a set shooter type role.
Why do some act like Sandfort is the only player who has ever had to take tough shots? Give Iowa credit, they have a good offensive system, and within that system he shot 38% from 3 and averaged 16. Averaging 16 a game isn't bad, but it doesn't make him an elite scorer on a team where he should be an elite scorer if he's the primary weapon. He couldn't even make 2nd team all B1G in that dog **** conference. People want to say the draft is so bad he has a chance this year fine, but regardless of draft position he is a lifer g-league or euro player.
The “set shot 3 point specialist” that can’t or doesn’t do anything else in the NbA was like 5 or maybe even more years ago.
Historically weak draft in 2024 and Sandfort will be quite old as a prospect in 2025. He turns 22 in July. With those two variables in mind, this is his best shot at maximizing his draft stock. That said, I still think he'll be back.
Tbd on the team around him but Great Osobor will immediately be one of the best players in the Big Ten and Danny Sprinkle is a really good coach.
I know the intent is to look tough, but half these pictures look like me when I'm using all my might to squeeze one out when constipated.
I will be surprised if he stays in the draft, but the guy is being talked about, and if he can get into the 2nd round of the draft he needs to go. The kid is the type of player that is going to have to down to the G league and show enough for some team to bring him up. Maybe get one of the two half way contracts that allows him to go back and forth like Garza did for a couple of years. Coming back to EIU really will not help him in anyway, they are going to be a poor to bad team with him or without him, so might as well take the money and go.
