   3-ways must be a little more money then, eyn'a?

I think for Sam, the defense isn't a huge concern. Realistically, he's going to be a guy that's at the end of the bench that may provide some shooting in bursts. They could cover his defense up with other guys.

It certainly would limit his upside, but I think he's got a path to an NBA roster.

Do you think they will put Sam up on the wall in the Al of MU players in the NBA?

Yes, he left Wojo's program. Wojo thankfully is gone.

They didn't put Deonte up. I know sam was around longer but that's the only comparison I can think of

I would say given the fact he had three very good years at MU, yes, they will. Provided he actually stays in the league a while .

If he doesn't make it do you think he will play on the MU TBT team?

Right next to the Dear Wojo "letter".

Sam finished up Summer League shooting 46.2 percent from 3 , 50 percent overall and had 9 points a game , 4.8 boards and 2 assists in 21.5 minutes per game.

I remain more convinced now than ever that Hauser will play in the NBA.

During Summer League play, I did not see a guy who is a major defensive liability. But I did see a guy who is excellent at the one thing every NBA team desperately wants. That he's also 6-8 and smart matters, too.

I think he will play in the NBA, but let's not put too much emphasis on how someone looks in summer league.  The best in the world are on a beach somewhere.

When the going gets tough, the Hausers get going.  Out the door

I said I thought he'd play in the NBA, and you apparently agree.

I wasn't saying he'd be the next Dirk. And I wasn't even suggesting that he was going to be anything more than a garbage-time player ... because I don't know. It's too early to know. The beautiful thing is that we'll get to see!

So you don't think S. Hauser will get time in the NBA, Unk?

Probably but he won't like when things don't go his way.  Letters do even less good in the NBA.  No Babies Allowed

There was a long stretch last night during which Carson Edwards and Payton Pritchard were just jacking up 3s without even looking his way, and I have to admit that I chuckled and thought: "Well, maybe it's time for a letter to the coach."

But seriously, I have enough fond memories of Sam's time at Marquette to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was placed in a no-win situation due to Joey's immaturity and Wojo's poor handling of the issue. So I do find myself rooting for S. Hauser to make it in the association.

Eh, Al wouldn't have let him near campus

You said you "saw someone who wasn't a major defensive liability."  Let's see what happens when he plays against better players than he sees at Summer League game.

Maybe you're being facetious, otherwise, you've got to be kidding.  Any coach would want a player of his caliber.  And Al fully understood you needed plenty of high level talent to get to the top.

Al wouldn't take letter writers

This! A thousand times this. Saw an article  raving about some phenom for the Heat being the back up center. Guy is rail skinny and will be pushed around like a rag doll when beach time is over.

Fair point.

I've used the phrase "we'll see" over and over again.

[MuggsyB]

Two words:  Summer League

That's not to say Sam doesn't have a really important skill-set, and he may in fact stick on a roster, but SL stats essentially mean nothing.

[MU82]

Did I miss a whole lotta Scoopers claiming that Hauser's play during Summer League guaranteed him NBA superstar status?
