Samardo Showing Out!

I know we CARD fans had mixed emotions about our former 5- star center Samardo Samuels, it was hard telling a kid who needed to support his family that he could not do so. Many scratched their heads when he went pro, but tonight may be a coming out party for him. With two minutes left in the game Samardo has 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assist...against the San Antonio Spurs (a team that 49-11, about to be 50). Even though his team will take the loss, it is hard not to root for a former CARD out there making a name for himself!

Nicely done, Samardo. Nicely done indeed.

Good for him
Glad he’s doing well, as is Earl now from what I hear. Always makes me wonder why they didn’t shine like that when they were here. I guess it’s like Rajon Rondo. He looked goofy at Kentucky more often that not, but now he’s already an NBA Champion and widely regarded as the leader of one of the greatest teams in the history of the game.
Then, you have guys like Adam Morrison, Andrew Bogut, JJ Redick, Christian Laettner (the list goes on). They make you think they’re gonna shine in the pros and you rarely hear their names spoken again.
Strange transitions.

not to rain on your parade because I see your point
but Bogut was an all nba 3rd team last year, and Redick is an excellent roll player for one of the best teams in the NBA
Might not have been the best examples
But, the consensus has been there. Dominant players in college fail to live up to the hype in the pros more often than not. And in a lot of cases, the quiet ones go on to do big things.

Very few of the current NBA megastars spent much, if any, time in college.
Lebron, Kobe, Melo, Stoudemire, Nowitski, Garnett, Durant, Bosh all played 1 year or less in college. Even Rondo, Paul, and Wade only played 2 years.
Stout Out!
The numbers are always sexy to look at; but, a stat I really love that I wish they tracked in college is +/- ratio when Xplayer is in the game. Last night Samardo was -2.

I was only perplexed because I didn't think he knew what he was doing
but apparently he’s doing well, so I’m happy with his decision. If you were wondering Samardo: I’m not mad at you.
I’m sure the NBA life has its advantages.
