Loin de moi l'idée de polémiquer sur la resignature de Samuels. Maintenant que c'est fait, je suis certain que Milling saura créer des maux de tête à nos adversaires avec des systèmes à deux pivots. C'est quand même très old school, ça se fait plus trop ailleurs, mais c'est peut être justement ça qui va être déstabilisant pour nos adversaires. En plus Samuels a l'air motivé comme tout pour rester, ce qui est quand même génial chez un joueur avec ses références.
Mais, quant au fait qu'il ait été 4 (PF) : câest pas ce que je connais de son parcours. Pour Milan je ne sais pas, mais en NCAA, non, il ne jouait pas 4. Il a toujours été un 5 projeté comme un 4 dans une perspective NBA (contraint de se reconvertir car trop petit pour jouer 5 en NBA). Quant à ses qualités de 4 voilà ce qui s'en disait sur les sites de référence :
"At just 6'8, he goes from overpowering CENTER in college to undersized power forward in the pros... [...] An overwhelming majority of his possessions occur IN THE POST, where he does a good job of utilizing his strong frame to carve out position at the college level. He lacks explosiveness and athleticism, and HAS NOT SHOWN THE ABILITY TO FACE UP... he struggles putting the ball on the floor with minimal ball handling skills, while a face-up aspect of his game is not much of a threat... HIS OUTSIDE GAME WAS NON EXISTENT at Louisville..." (NBADRAFT)
"According to Synergy Sports Technology, over 92% of his possessions in the half court offense occur AROUND THE BASKET and looking at tape, it is rare to see him venture outside of the post. His face-up game remains inconsistent and he is still hampered by mediocre ball handling abilities and his lack of ideal athleticism and mobility. [...] Samuels has not shown any real ability to make shots from the perimeter in his career thus far, which is something he?ll clearly need to do as an NBA power forward. [...] At this point, it is safe to conclude that Samuels will struggle defensively at the next level, at least initially until he's able to make the full CONVERSION TO PLAYING THE POWER FORWARD POSITION. Very small for a CENTER at 6-8, he lacks the lateral quickness to defend the perimeter [...] only time will tell whether he ends up being a productive NBA player or a terrific undersized CENTER overseas." (DRAFTEXPRESS)
Le temps a parlé : c'est un super 5 pour l'Europe... et tant mieux pour nous qu'il soit au CSP.
