2Can 2 Sam Flies Coop: Samardo Samuels to NBA


Samardo Samuels was reported by the Jamacain Basketball Association to have entered his name in the NBA draft. Rick Pitino, during his Yum! Center naming press conference, denied this claim and Louisville announced Samuels had not entered.  Ajani Williams of the Jamaica Basketball Association then insisted that Samardo Samuels has declared for Draft and was set to contact UL.

So based on this latest "he said - she said" at UL, it appears Samuels has probably declared, but may not have informed anyone but his home country and may likely not hire an agent.

Samuels is currently projected by DraftExpress.com as the #23 pick in the 2nd round of the 2011 draft.  For the kid's sake, I just hope he is 'testing the waters' and withdrawls his name by the May 8th deadline.

  1. Samardo Samuels does not need to go into the draft. That's a terribel idea.
