That's how is last name starts I think. He's a center who was mentioned by Popeye as a possible project guy we could draft to replace Cato. I haven't heard or read anything about him. ------------------
I don't know that much about him, but here's what I do know, if we're talking about the same person: This is from John Thompson (NBA Draft Report) 53. Soumaila Samake, 7-2, 235, Cincinnati Stuff (IBL) Out of the IBL? He's rated right behind Chris Carrawell, and in front of Desmond Mason. Oyededji is 2 ahead of him. Here's his bio from the Cincinnati Stuff home page: http://www.cincinnatistuff.com/pp-samake.html Led the league in blocks....by the looks of it, he has next to zero offense, 10.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg, shot 57.4% from the field.....22 years old. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
his numbers to me sound like Cato....remember, at age 22, he's the age of a college senior, and not nearly as well developed as one. Definitely a project, seems on the thin side for being 7'2''....... ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
Any idea where he would go in the draft? He's not listed on NBAdraft.net' mock draft. He blocks a lot of shots and if he's somewhat athletic, maybe he would be a good pick if we deal Cato. ------------------
I'd say in the 20s range..... Another center we may want to think about, is Dan McClintock. He's a 7'0'' senior out of Northern Arizona. Here's what I heard about him: -fastest 100 yard dash on his team -30+ inch vertical (for a guy 7'0'' tall!) -offensive skills, and good shotblocker His numbers were something like 15 ppg, and 6 rebs, over 2 bpg nbadraft.net has him at #28 in the first round. ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
