Sammy Emile was the first foreign transfer of BC Mures at the beginning of the 2014-2015 season. The American forward was signed in the hope to bring much needed energy in the game of the team. His highlight videos showed an athletic forward, with decent shooting skills and good ball handling.
But his stay in Tirgu Mures wasn't meant to be long and fruitful. In the nine official games he played for the team he couldn't rise up to the needs and expectations of the coaching staff and management alike. In the Romanian Cup he played two games, scoring 5 points in total. In the championship he played seven games with a 6 ppg average in 18 minutes per game.
No one can say that he lacks talent or basketball skills, he is gifted with both, the only thing that stood between him and success in Tirgu Mures was a high enough basketball IQ.
After the arrival of Goran Gajovic and most of all Kyndall Dykes it was natural that someone had to leave and Sammy was the logical choice. He will go after only half a season in the white and blue jersey, but he will always remain a part of the BC Mures family no matter where fate takes him.
