King... Sampson is 6'5 and Tone is 6'4. Also if you were to find some of the photos of them all together, you can see Sampson is taller. As far as the shooting, like I said, Blakeney is excellent but he is more scorer then PURE shooter. Very good still at shooting but can do more to put the ball in basket then just spot up. Sampson is so pure as a shooter and the numbers, so far, show it. Also go look at any video of the two and you will see how effortless Sampson gets off the floor and how athletic he is. Again, not saying one is Larry Bird athletically and the other is Jordan. Blakeney is for sure a stud athlete but Brandon is slightly more athletic.

Brother, there is more to being a 2 guard than just shooting 3s. Blakeney isn't much off (if at all) of a shooter from Sampson and gets to the rim much better. Brandon is good but Tone is a beast

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

There is a picture somewhere that shows the verts for the freshman. I can't find it, but I remember the results.

Blakeney - 45"
Sampson - 43.5"
Simmons - 41"

If we have the luxury of having a player of Blakeney's caliber off the bench, then that just means we are very fortunate.
