There is no way Sampson is more athletic than blakenly. Dude has like 44 inch vert. Also in highschool Sampson was extremely streaky shooter.

Say what you want but I have not seen numbers of a 44 inch vert. And as I said and tried to make clear....I am not talking about one guy with a 50 inch vert and the other with a 20 inch vert. Very similar but from my eye Sampson is more athletic. And as to the shooting....yes Sampson had times when he was, but did you see every game? Also he shot about 500 shots a day between his last game and his arrival at LSU. He always had great form and now his work plus the technique he always had has come together.

Whether we agree or disagree about this small thing, we all will see some great basketball again.

The real question in my mind is how the guard minutes shake out

If you say we will play with 3 guards on the floor most of the game that gives us 120 minutes to spread over TQ, Tone, Sampson, Hornsby, Gray, Patterson.

The way I see it:
Quarterman - 31
Hornsby - 24
Blakeney - 22
Sampson - 18
Patterson - 18
Gray - 12

That leaves us with about 5 minutes to be playing with 4 guards, which is probably realistic considering the depth and size we have in the backcourt.

While I'm at it, I might as well take a stab at the frontcourt. I'll say that the remaining 75 minutes break down like this:
Simmons - 33
Victor - 25
Epps - 9
Malone - 5
Bridgewater - 2
Robinson - 1

Of course this is just guesswork at the moment, but I think with Victor in Malone takes on a seriously reduced role. If you take out Victor the front court would be more like Simmons 35/Epps 18/Malone 16/Bridgewater 6/Robinson 3
