SELF SCOUT
What are Samoura’s strengths?
“Attacking the basket and playing with athleticism. Foul trouble. Any role needed; versatile. A defensive pest. I am a long guard with a good shooting stroke and next level athleticism who does all the little things to help the team win. Weak side blocks are an underrated skill; averaged the most in the state of NC and NJ aside from 7 footers.”
What did he learn at his past school?
“That I can work and gain skills that I need for the next level.”
Three Non-Basketball Related Interests
Biology, Pre-Med, and family.
