And, I thought he extended his offense away from just alley oop slams in Game 1.

Why don't you Johnson haters at least wait until he costs us a game?

Against SHU Johnson demonstrated some actual offensive moves. Prior to this his entire game was alley oops and the occasional putback.

Yes, it was a bit disappointing that he fouled out but there is still quite a bit of time left in the season and marginal improvement may be all that is needed.

It is far too early to panic.

Wow so game 1 defines your view of Samson just b/c he fouled out? First game, man, speed has to get used to from practices and an exhibition. Nerves run high - they just got their banner, rings, crowd going bananas. They all have to let the game come to them like AK and Liam did. Give him a few more games, and besides, how many games did he foul out of last year, yet so many railed on his fouling.

I think you misunderstood my post there Jersey boy(exit 9 here). He did some very positive heretofore unseen things, awesome. Keep working on the foul thing, but if he fouls he fouls. A loose, aggressive Samson Johnson does a bunch for the team, a tight tentative SJ doesn't.

In summary-I am a big Samson Johnson fan and am thrilled at what appear to be some real additions to his game. Turn him loose!!

I didn’t realize saying it’s a “troubling sign” that Samson fouled out in 16 mins against a midmajor made me a hater. Scary to think What a real criticism would have made me.

samson averaged over 7 fouls per 40 mins last year. there was hope that him gaining ~20lbs this offseason would help him defend without fouling so much, yet he fouled out in the first game of the season against a midmajor opponent in only 16 mins. but sure, nothing to see here folks, move along.

3 of those fouls were legitimately bs. Did you watch the game?

Unfortunately He’s got a reputation at this point and won’t get the benefit of the doubt a la Zack edey

So why don't you save your fire for real criticism?

We don’t need you white knighting for Johnson. Even Hurley criticized his play

I don’t think it makes you a hater. I just think it makes you unintelligent.

lol you’re the one with his head in the sand. Hurley himself said samson got the gold medal for crappy defense.

 

[Lambeau]

In two games' rebounding Reed has 21, Samson 4-- who do we want on the floor the majority of the time?

Oh, I didn't take that into account. I wonder if we can pull his scholarship.

You would’ve made an awesome Nika Muhl white knighter.

I thought the same thing about you and bendm.
