If Dupree is out, that means rookie Sammy Mejia is in. He would spend most of the year in the D-League with Cheikh Samb -- which is nice because they both speak Spanish, giving Cheikh somebody to talk to. Sammy could make an extra buck or two serving as his translator. When I was watching them play in the summer league in Vegas, Cheikh wouldn't let me interview him unless Sammy was there to translate. Sammy has a great sense of humor, by the way. He's always smiling, singing or dancing in the locker room before and after games. The guys seem to like him. He says everybody calls him Sam or Sammy, except one person. Guess who. Rasheed calls him Stanley. Who knows why?
