He plays a different position than Andre and has 0 passing or ballhandling ability. I don't think that's a realistic way to use him.

Samson just needs to learn our sets and use his BBIQ. It's obviously there somewhere because he has moments of brilliance, but he spends a lot of time getting in the ballhandler's way and is often the last one in position when we set up a play.

Being a big minutes starter is a totally different role, and probably not one he is suited to at the moment because he's been training to be a bench energy guy. But now that teams have figured out his offense (dunks), he's been limited. We don't really need 10+ points from him. What we need is him to fit in the offense and GET SOME REBOUNDS. 1 rebound in 21 minutes was unacceptable the other night. Force Soriano to put a body on him on the boards and that will give our guards room to maneuver.

I suspect we'll have him in the film room and the coaches will be hyping him up to get him ready for Soriano.
