Turns out that Henry Abbott composed a scouting opus of Samb during the 2007 Summer League in Las Vegas. Abbott got impressions from both an anonymous scout as well as Joseph Treutlein of DraftExpress.com. The first scout had this to say about Samb’s potential:
Cheikh Samb needs to put on a lot of muscle. He has bulked up some, but he needs to bulk up even more. The way he is right now, everything he gets is a fadeaway, and you can’t live on fadeaways.
That said, he has developed a decent jump hook, spinning into the lane.
