He played it in summer league last year, and showed some PG skills.

if you think i'd get more excited if i saw samb play, i question your judgment. theres not a chance in the world this samb charachter is making our roster this year, let alone contributes.

Nope. But add 50 lbs on to his frame, and he's Desagana Diop. He's got the same instincts.

so, when he gains 25% of his body weight in muscle, he can be as good as diop? lol, how many years is that going to take? its getting really hard to take you seriously.

Why even try? He's just a Tom Wilson plant.

Yea, I don't think he needs to gain 50 pounds. He's at about 215 right now. He could survive at 235-240 with his athleticism and length ala KG, who is around that. All we're looking for him to do is block a few shots, and not get pushed around out there. Plus he has a very suprising jumper. Good form (unlike amir), and he even hit a few clutch 15-footers at the summer league. He looked very impressive compared to his scouting report which made it sound like he was just tall and had no idea what he was doing.

He'll never be Diop in size, but to anyone who's seen the two play, it's obvious that Samb's got a better feel on the offensive end.

Not saying he'll turn into anything, but I like the chances a lot more now that I've actually seen him play. Even the NBA tv commentators were getting excited about him.

What a great pick up for the Pistons. Even if he doesn't work out for this team he will have very good trade value since we got him so cheap. I think that he will be the slasher and spark off of the bench that we needed. I also think that Nazr will be better than most people think. I can see us being one mid-season trade away from being back in the championship hunt.

I don't know if I agree, but I sure as hell hope you're right.

I still gotta wonder... WHO IS OUR BACKUP PG? I keep looking at the roster to find one, and I keep coming up empty.

If Lindsey Hunter is running the O on this team again next year I am gonna scream.

For whats its worth, Just about every Cleveland fan I've read from say's that at that price he is an absolute steal. I'm shocked that anyone can think this is a bad move.
