Sampson was one of the freakiest athletes at this event. Without question, he possesses high-level NBA length and athleticism. He still has miles to go in terms of skills, however. His jumpshot is one of the ugliest you will see, as it seems to change every time he shoots. Instead of a smooth follow-through, Sampson uses more of a push shot. His putback dunks and alley-oops are breathtaking, but at this point, he's much more of an athlete than an all-around basketball player. Decision making, passing and learning some offensive moves are all areas that need work, but without a reliable shooting form, he's going to struggle to score in the NBA. He needs time in college and a major overhaul on his jumpshot.

I'd love to know what his true shooting percentage was from shots outside the paint.  Some stat geek nerd out there has to keep that stuff.  His jumper was BAD his Sr. year.  It got better during his prep year and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was last year.  He knew his limitation from a foot or so inside the line and hit them more than regularly.  It can only improve with more weapons around him.

NBA Draft Net isn't really a credible source. Use DraftExpress
