Sam is big if true though. A 6'7" player with a 6'9-ish wingspan who can score at two levels (one seemingly at an elite clip) and credibly stay in front of people, even when being hunted, is pretty valuable.
Expecting him to shoot anywhere near his current 53.3% rate on just over four attempts per game (second only to KCP if you filter for four or more 3PA) is probably not realistic. In short order, other teams will adjust and sweat Hauser but Sam is showing flashes of nifty cuts and off ball movement that gets good shooters the slivers they need. This may be early and he may get run off the floor but why not enjoy it?
Boom?
