Key word there being potential. There were a lot of "eventually's" in his descriptions of Samson. Have to parse Hurley's hype carefully. He's pretty careful with his words. It was clear before the season from chatter and insiders that Samson's situational and defensive scheme awareness needed to improve to get regular PT considering the depth in front of him. I had him estimated for 10 minutes a game before the season in Oct and he got 5.2 (and it was very much a sporadic 5.2). We'll see what other Clingan tidbits we get as official practices start, etc. But 1-2 punch implies actually seeing the court on a regular basis as a freshman, which is more than he ever implied for Samson to my memory. That and we don't really have another backup center, so it's just a matter of what the minute split will be. I'm leaning towards 28-12. Here's one quote for example: [/QUOTE]
