** #6 HYG: Samir Doughty **

[Denim Vest]

You know him. You love him. Well maybe you didn't for much of last season but the handsome vet found his role in time for our run to the final 4 and looks to be a key piece to the best backcourt in the SEC next season.

Should fit much better physically at the 2. Rumblings around the internet suggest he dealt with a nagging ankle sprain all year which would explain his sub-HYG caliber athleticism. A grainy video of Sammy thunder slamming one down during a summer workout suggest that might be behind him. Pair some new found athleticism with his crafty old man game and surprising accuracy from deep and All SEC caliber play is a real possibility.

Should be a star this year. The reformed prison guy in a boy band look is gonna lead him into being the *gasp* highest scorer on the team. Looking forward to seeing his 3 stroke improved

How did we jump from 10 to 6 though?

I missed Jamal so went back to 10. Back on track now for the top 5.

My goodness the rollercoaster of emotion this HYG put me through last year. All is forgiven young Samir. Do yo thang brah

assuming - ASSUMING - the inability to finish at the rim consistently, and the turnovers in the paint and off the dribble, last season were due to a lack of explosiveness and mobility due to the nagging ankle injury, and not due to an a lack of elite athleticism as I so coldly assumed, I cannot wait to see a fully heathy Samir drown our hapless opponents in Philly swag

jokes aside - we need someone to fill the Horace/Malik toughness and leadership role and, in Malik’s case borderline dangerous arrogance... our front court seniors are the backbone of this squad but not exactly the most - idk the right word but you guys know what I’m saying... but our backcourt guys are the heart... we need Samir and J’Von to be those guys, and I think they’re ready
