Why Samson Johnson is primed for breakout year

[JerseyAlum]

without a mid-range shooting game, he isn't going to the league,
When he first came to Storrs we were told the kid would be a NBA prospect due to his athleticism and his perimeter and mid-range shooting ability.
So far, that shooting ability has not been seen.
Hopefully that is being worked on.

Supposedly they are working on him as a facilitator 6-8 feet out of the rim to shoot or dish. We'll see what becomes of this, but if effective could see him, Reed Jr, and Karaban in the frontcourt sometimes (not even suggesting a starting lineup) with Mahaney and McNeeley as guards would make a tall lineup of deadly 3 shooters and big men mixed.
