Sam is an absolute bucket. Leave him space he drains the deep ball, guard him tight and he will drive to his spot and hit his favorite 15 foot jumper in your grill, or maybe for fun he will just give you that hessi head fake and hit a sick little reverse pivot lefty scoop. Love this kids game and his elite skill set.

Sam looked good and clearly showed he belongs on the court with top Midwest talent. Holds D2 offers from Northern State University, Augustana University, and University of Sioux Falls. Shot the ball well, played in transition. His length helps him greatly to score over defenders with cleanliness off the glass. He did his normal high-pointing rebounding then an immediate transition push up the court.
