Pistons sign Samb

Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - The Detroit Pistons signed center Cheick Samb on Tuesday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Samb, 22, was the 51st pick of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2006 draft and his right were then traded to the Pistons in exchange for forward Maurice Evans.
"We're happy to add Cheick Samb as a member of our organization," said Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars. "Cheick has intriguing potential and our intention is to bring him along slowly."
The Senegalese native spent last season playing in the Spanish League, averaging 9.6 points with WTC Cornella. In the recently concluded 2007 Summer League, the seven-footer averaged 7.0 points and 5.4 rebounds.
