ESPN's Olgun Uluc named Sam one of the most refined players at Basketball Australia's invite-only National Performance Camp, a wing who caught fire in the scrimmages. The scouting report: an ideal off-ball wing hitting catch-and-shoot threes at a high rate, particularly from the corners, with impressive touch in and around the paint. An NBA scout and multiple NBL teams were in attendance.
A country Victoria product, Sam has established himself as one of the VC Youth League's exciting emerging talents in his first full season with the Tigers, averaging 16.4 points on 44% from three, with valuable experience already at NBL1 South level.
The most valuable player in modern basketball is the wing who spaces the floor and defends, and Sam Haslett is built in exactly that mold. At 6'8", ESPN singled him out at Basketball Australia's National Performance Camp as an ideal off-ball wing, one who caught fire hitting catch-and-shoot threes, particularly from the corners.
He's already carried the Australian name internationally with AUS Select in China, and continues his development with the Melbourne Tigers across NBL1 South and the VC Youth League.
Size, shooting, and a game NBA scouts and NBL teams have already come to watch. Sam projects as exactly the kind of wing college programs build around.
