low-usage freshman guard with pro-style feel and upside
Samar’s 2025-26 freshman season at Oregon State has been modest on the box score—4.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.3 minutes per game—but his profile still hints at value as a bigger guard who brings a steady, mature pace and touches of scoring efficiency from the foul line (88.5%).[1][5] His best fit is as a developmental connector: a guard with international experience for Slovenia, enough size and versatility to survive multiple roles, and a track record of productive stretches in Spain that suggest more upside than his current college usage shows.[3][12][15]
