Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4888648, member: 6696"] Samson is averaging 4/2/0 with 3.6 fouls in 17mpg in conference play. I'm not sure you can even consider that as being a capable backup. The goal of your backup is to play decent defense and rebound to hold down the fort. Samson does neither adequately. He had a nice strong start to the season and looked great versus the cupcakes. But against the real teams in OOC he wasn't great outside of that staggering 15/8/2 performance versus Texas. That game got our hopes up about another twin towers. But he put up 2/3/1 with 3.3 fouls OOC versus the other major conference opponents in 15 mpg... That's simply not good enough for this level. Without an absolutely stacked stable of guards (Newton, Cam, Hass, Steph) leaving this team, we need to accept that we MUST get a transfer portal big. And we should probably be hoping that Singare develops enough to be the backup too. [/QUOTE]
