I guess I'm one of the few that thinks we will be better because of this.

Samuals at SF > Sutton
Samuals brings offense, however a little inconsistent but that's likely because he was out of position. He's a SF that's been playing PF. He brings the same tenacity and rebounding.
Sutton's edge over Samuals was the ability to guard teams elite guards. However, I think Sutton's defense has decreased over the last 2 years.
