Juhann Begarin wasn't the only player we picked up on draft night -- guard Sam Hauser from Virginia was quickly secured to a two-way contract as an undrafted free agent. Like with Begarin, I had no clue about Hauser. Now that I acquainted myself a bit, I'm smiling that we got him. Let's just say we got Gordon Hayward back! I'm liking what I see -- such headiness. m.youtube.com/watch?v=myk0nopBJtg

Your optimism makes me smile, DM! The kid looks good, but let's see what he does against NBA defense.

Oh, sorry I realize now that I sound as if I think Hauser is the second coming of Hayward in terms of his production. Meant to say his movements/game is reminiscent of Hayward. I like him though. Used for his 3 pt shooting, I think we have a nice player here.

He looks a little slow in terms of being defended by NBA defenders and trying to defend NBA defenders. Sweet shot.

I'm really digging Hauser. He's going to be an undrafted gem. His shooting is special. Back in Virginia, he shot tough contested shots and shot in a variety of ways, and still shot over 40%. And he's crafty too.
I bet Udoka is foing to find a way to get him playing time. The threat from the perimeter will help keep defenses at bay.

As long as he makes the effort, runs around to get open and at least chases around screens, he'll be a gem like Duncan Robinson became

Sam Hauser is Matt Bonner, Matt Bonner is Sam Hauser (in a good way, of course). Wait till the ball finds him, and splash them threes!

Certainly looked good last night. Quick release, sweet shot. Nice pickup by Brad.

He also seems to be a decent passer. I think he had 7 assists last night.

Hauser looked to me like he had the best long shot in the NBA the other night. However he played is apparently exactly how he should always play. I think it sends a strong message to Nesmith, Grant Williams, Begarin, Yam, and Romeo.
