the old-school rebounding forward who gave Long Beach State toughness and glue
In his Long Beach State tenure, David Samuels stood out as a physical, high-motor forward who could rebound his area, finish through contact, and bring a blue-collar edge that doesn’t always show up in the box score. In the 2013-14 season, he averaged 6.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, ranked second on the team in rebounding, and produced three double-doubles, which points to real interior value. The best fit for a team? A lineup that needs toughness, effort, and reliable board work more than flash.
