Basketball runs in the Hauser family: Sam's father Dave is a coach, his brother Joey was his teammate at Marquette before starring at Michigan State, and his sister Nicole played college volleyball. He earned the nickname 'Slam Hauser' after an unexpected run of dunks — a wink at a player defined almost entirely by his jump shot.
His identity is elite, repeatable shooting mechanics. An undrafted prospect who bet on a single elite skill, he became a rotation piece on a champion and then a starter, proving that floor-spacing at a high enough level always finds a home — and a payday.
A pure, high-volume floor-spacer — elite catch-and-shoot mechanics from an undrafted grinder.
