Sam Bannec was a role guard for Colorado State, not a stat-sheet star
In the 2018 season, Sam Bannec was an invited walk-on guard for Colorado State who appeared in eight games, providing low-usage depth rather than headline production. His value was more about trust and readiness than volume: he brought 6-foot-3 guard size, a team-first mindset, and enough shooting touch to knock down his first collegiate points on a three-pointer. The fit? He looked like a reliable bench connector, but not a primary creator or impact scorer.
