And yet teams have had three years of observation and haven't been able to stop him.  He's elite at that one attribute.  Possibly best in the nation.  His scoring is impacted not by opposing defenses but by his inability to avoid silly fouls and staying on the floor.

Samson is a 4 asked to play the 5.  It's obviously an uncomfortable role for him.  He doesn't release from his player to get a rebound because he doesn't have the confidence of boxing out.  When Alex was put in that position his foul rate was significantly higher and rebound rate was significantly lower.  So the question begs why is an elite coaching staff putting Samson in this role?

The difference between a critique and a desire to destroy an individual runs a fine line.  You respond in a negative way in every thread or post related to Samson. That's a desire to hurt him because he's caused you pain.  This is not a postulation.  You indicated he caused you 95% of your aggravation with last years team. This is a negative behavior.  Samson struggles to control his reflexes.  You struggle from refraining on reducing the kid.  Both are poor forms.
