Sampson or Toupane ?
Simple question, which, if either, would you like to make the 2016 team and why ?

Re: Sampson or Toupane ?
Both have great attitudes and seem like great teammates, but from a business standpoitn:
Sampson is a liability on offense - opponents sag off from him and that clogs the lanes - so he gets a "no" for my vote
Toupane is a tougher call - he'll probably not be an all-star but he provides good defense and fair offense - he'd make a nice 3rd strong SG, but only if we don't draft another SG

Re: Sampson or Toupane ?
I'd take Toupane for the simple fact that Sampson is worthless in a half court offense. I'd still prefer a rookie though, and I'll be surprised if either of them make the roster. And if there's still roster space after the draft, I might even take Mike Miller over either of these two.

Toupane.
Tbh I wasn't even impressed by Sampson's defense. Opposing SFs had their way against him.
Toupane was at least in some of our best plus-minus bench units.

You land all day long, Sampson just looked below average in everything.

Seemed like Sampson was the only Nugget that was always aware of where everyone was when he was on defense. He'd help cover a drive down the middle. He played pick-and-rolls fairly aggressively and always seemed to know how to get back to cover his man. But I still think he's a handicap because of his lack of offense.

Re: Sampson or Toupane ?
honestly neither should be on this team next year. much rather give that spot to a rookie.

Re: Sampson or Toupane ?
With the draft picks that we have, neither should be on the team next year but if I had to choose one, I would say Toupane.
