Entering his second season, we're still trying to figure out JaKarr Sampson's role.
If there were one player to epitomize the Sixers' rebuild and "player development", it's the pride of St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. Of course, I'm talking about Jakarr Sampson. His journey from undrafted St. John product to a 76er starter has been... interesting to watch considering the roster churn/turnstile over the past 2 years.
Despite not showing really showing any appreciable NBA Skills besides being long and athletic, he defied conventional thinking. After a showing in summer league and a camp invite, not only did he make the final 15 man roster, Sampson began to get regular rotation minutes with Sixers (sandwiched between a small stint down in Delaware).
