Former Cavaliers and Louisville big man Samardo Samuels has signed a deal with French club Chorale Roanne, per Dario Skerletic of Sportando.
Samuels, 31, played for three seasons in Cleveland from 2010-2013 after going undrafted in 2010. Cleveland waived Samuels in January 2013.
Following a brief 2013 stint with the then-D-League’s Reno Bighorns, Samuels has logged time overseas in Israel, Italy, Spain, China, Serbia and France. Samuels also played in Ice Cube’s Big3 three-on-three basketball league, during the summer of 2019.
Earlier this season, Samuels played 15 games for Panionios in Greece, averaging 17.1 PPG and 6.1 RPG.
Maybe Samuels always wanted to be a world traveller lol. Even he is using the 3pt line now.
Blast from the past!
