Guangsha will sign back to an old CBA acquaintance, and will the former Liaoning team Beijing Enterprises team foreign aid return to the CBA arena?

Last season's CBA champion Guangsha general manager Miao Shoushou recently talked about the team's foreign aid signing situation in the new season in an interview. In addition to Barry Brown Jr. and Josh Carlton who played for the team last season, the Guangsha also signed RayJon Tucker and JaKarr Sampson.

Among them, Sampson is an old acquaintance. Sampson was born in March 1993 and is 32 years old and 206cm tall. He is 98kg and was the undrafted in the 2014 NBA Draft. Sampson has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, the Denver Nuggets, the Sacramento Kings, the Chicago Bulls and the Indiana Pacers in the NBA. Sampson has made a total of 236 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 15 minutes of playing time, averaging 5.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 47.1% from the field, 24.8% from three-point shooting percentage and 67% from free throws. Sampson's performance in the NBA arena actually has certain highlights. He can also show comprehensive personal abilities on the offensive end, and he can also play some effects on the defensive end. This is also an important factor in his ability to play in the NBA for many years as a undraft.

In recent seasons, Sampson has been unable to obtain contracts from NBA teams, and he has to appear in the overseas league market. He has played in the Serie A, CBA and Kuwait League. In the 2023-24 season, Sampson played for the CBA team Beijing Enterprises. He played a total of 40 games in the CBA field, averaging 11.7 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 53.4%, three-point shooting percentage 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 69.7%.

In fact, Sampson's performance in the CBA arena still has certain highlights. He still has good personal scoring ability, and he can also provide some help and support on the defensive end. However, due to the influence of foreign aid policies, Sampson was unable to get more playing time and performance opportunities, and his data was relatively average. As he gets older, Sampson's athletic ability will definitely decline further, and his influence on the game on the court will also weaken accordingly. From the perspective of Guangsha team, the cost of signing Sampson at this stage should not be too high. I wonder what kind of performance Sampson, who returns to the CBA field in the new season, can he gain a foothold in Guangsha?
