Columbia’s Sandeep Dhaliwal brings guard skills, range, and steady first-year upside
In the 2009-10 season, Sandeep Dhaliwal was a 6-2 guard freshman at Columbia who earned a spot on the roster as a polished jump shooter with a hard-working reputation and a quick path to campus minutes[1][3]. His best differentiator is his perimeter touch—Columbia’s materials describe him as a “deadly accurate jump shooter,” which fits a guard who can space the floor and keep possessions simple[1]. For a team, he projects as a smart, low-drama guard option with shooting value and developmental upside rather than a high-usage star[1][3].
