Samson Johnson - I see it

[Huskybass]

Samson hadn't played too much before the Gambling State game, so it was good to see him get 20 minutes on Saturday. He had 5 points and 6 rebounds and looked very promising for a freshman big. He looked smooth and agile and his body language and demeanor showed confidence. His points came on a 3 and a nice dunk in the half court set. Easy to be excited about Samson, I hope he gets lots more minutes while Sanogo is out.

He's got more springs than Richie and that was a smooth 3-pointer.

Samson has some unique qualities for a Big. Graceful and quick on and off his feet. Will be interesting to watch him develop his skills in Storrs.

His footspeed will create problems for opposing defenders.

Others have mentioned Hawkins reminding them of Ray, and Diggins resembling AJ Price. At quick glance, I see DeAndre Daniels in Samson.

Yes. Only started playing at age 15 or something like that
