Drew Sample is a Bum

[Whatever]

That’s pretty bad, and doesn’t really fit with the “but we have tons of players that are way worse” I’ve seen several times in this thread. I mean, is he better than Billy Price and Michael Jordan? Sure. But that’s an awful low bar.

Starters/Spot Starters/Key Rotational players with worse PFF grades than Sample...

Michael Jordan
Quentin Spain
Hakeem Adeniji
Billy Price
Fred Johnson
Sam Hubbard
Christian Covington
Amani Bledsoe
Josh Bynes
Germaine Pratt
Logan Wilson
Akeem Davis-Gaither
Darius Phillips
LeShaun Sims

What's bad about it is most people are happy and talking up the play of guys like Wilson, Spain, and Adeniji, but they grade worse than Sample.  Hubbard has higher expectations than any of these guys, but he's not getting call out threads, either.


Sample was overdrafted and is by no means a great player, but it just seems people are being overly critical in their evaluations simply because he was an unpopular pick.
