Samardo is one of the premiere back-to-the-basket low post players in the class of '08. He is a great finisher around the rim, and uses his strength to his advantage and abuses defenders. Surprising ball-handling ability for his size as well, and knows how to find the open man from the low post. Very solid rebounder and should be a double-double guy on the next levels.

He is a little undersized for the low post. He isn't a great low post defender. His strength is good, but will need to improve for college and the pros. He takes perimeter shots but needs to improve on this aspect of the game if he wants this to be a part of his offensive repertoire.
