Obviously we haven’t opened this chapter to specifically talk about these two guys. It’s Mamadou Samb who is our real concern here. He’s a very long and athletic player with truly great potential, and he came back to L’Hospitalet after last year’s introductory performance. However, how Samb and Winterthur F.C.Barcelona are handling the development of that potential seems worrying, at least from what we’ve seen in the tournament. Just like last year, Samb keeps playing as a pure center, spending 90% of his time on the court asking for the ball in the low post, but we haven’t seen any improvement in this area. He’s still the same skinny guy who regularly gets outmuscled, and he did suffer to establish position and go to work with his back to the basket. He didn’t seem too feel comfortable at all there, particularly when he put the ball on the floor to start a move, while he didn’t show any significant footwork to feel intrigued about. All in all, he was pretty much a non-factor down low.
