re: B Samp Sims and Mays is our only hope

This guy is no Darcy Malone, nor for that matter Ben Simmons! He looks like the real deal to me! Kieran Hayward Highlights

Could be a real find!

His tape doesn't look all that much different from Shane Hammink's against what is almost assuredly much weaker competition that he would face in the US. He plays virtually the same position as Blakeney and Sampson who are clearly MUCH better players. Maybe he develops into a reliable vet down the line, but I think those expecting him to be a game-changer are going to be disappointed. From what I recall, Arizona St. was the only other high-major program that was interested. Certainly frustrating when you have schools like UMass and A&M taking guys from Louisiana who seem to be much better players at both the same position and other positions of need on this team (particularly the frontcourt)
