Former Seton Hall star works out for Knicks, eyes NBA dreams
Seton Hall forward Tyrese Samuel dunks the ball during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Providence, Saturday, March 4, 2023, in Providence, R.I.
“ my versatility I can make a consistent jumper,” he said, “showing them that I can guard multiple positions on the floor.”“He just told me to go out there and be yourself,” Samuel said. “Don’t think about it too much. They’ve watched you for over a year so don’t try to play out of your game; just do what you’re supposed to do and everything should fall into place.”
“Tyrese was tremendous in his lone year for us here at Florida,” Gators assistant Carlin Hartman told NJ Advance Media. “He brought elite level toughness, skill and maturity to our team last season in helping lead us to a SEC title appearance as well as an NCAA tournament bid. “But I’m most definitely thankful for Seton Hall. Without Seton Hall, I don’t even think I would’ve been at Florida.”
Looking ahead to next week’s NBA Draft in Brooklyn, Samuel is one of several Canadians in the mix. Former Purdue stars a two-time National Player of the Year and a projected first-round pick. Fellow Canadian Emanuel Miller is also in the draft.“If I get drafted, that’s like great,” he said. “I’m going to be anxious. If I get picked up in the second round, obviously I’m like really old so that would be good.
