Moe and JaKarr

Reading old articles this morning and am looking back at Lavs' first recruiting class. If JaKarr was eligible in 11-12' that season would've been drastically different. Fast forward to present day, both Moe and Jakarr have both been in the league for 4+ seasons, no small feat considering the percentages. Its a shame that they weren't able to share the floor together as Johnnies.

Jak putting in work! Big Summer ahead, he's a unrestricted FA:

Averaged 5/2 in 15min this season- http://www.nba.com/players/jakarr/sampson/203960

Averaging 5.2 ppg  and .431 FG%, .237 3pt%, and .662 FT%.  There is this thought that due to coach/player contact restrictions in college, some players may be better off declaring early to help develop their game. If finances were not the issue, I believe JaKarr could have benefited by staying in college.

College did Sampson no good. Maybe it would have better elsewhere. He was/is an elite physical talent even by NBA standards but he never developed the skill.
