I understand what I'm saying is totally subjective, but watching the highlight reels Sampson just appears more flashy and intense. He seems like the better overall player because he can shoot better (from what I saw). I can't tell you how many times I'd watch an SJ game and Harkless threw up bricks. If it's not a layup or dunk he just isn't that good quite simply. I think Sampson can consistently knock down the jumpers and doesn't only need to rely on dunks or layups. Hooper is also interesting...the kid is a lights out shooter. When he is open, he knocks em down especially from downtown. Should be an interesting year.
Harkless a better shooter than Sampson to range, even if he didn't develop it at SJU. Harkless is a smooth shooter. Sampson will have some Raw edges to his game and his shooting won't be spectacular off the bat. Give him time though. He's a great motor and athlete. His midrange has gotten better and he's got a quicker first step than Moe at same height. Different skills, but he'll be good. I think Sanchez might be the one that looks to really surprise though, ad a 6'9" forward with range.
Amir also has decent form on his jumper and I hope he hones it like Postell did. I expect a bit of progress in the areas of shooting in the offseason. Usually a big jump from freshman to soph.
