His signing with the Kings marks his fourth NBA team in as many seasons.</div> I know nothing about this guy.However,I do notice that averaging 5 boards per 14 minutes is a whole lot of rebounds in not a whole lot of minutes.
He is a good rebounder, and can hold his own in the post. His offense isn't that good though, he has limited offensive moves. Think a very poor mans Ben Wallace.
To be fair, I dont know why they are signing players from the Bobcats, it is easier for us to look at a player from there team and there stats will be better than they actually are. Could be good though.
Don't be surprised if he doesn't make it past the pre-season games. Jamaal Sampson has all the ability and size to be a great NBA player, but his work ethic is non-existant.
