It’s been a long frustrating season for Sam Dekker as the Houston Rockets top draft pick of 2014-15. The Rockets forward appeared in just 3 games and underwent back surgery. Not exactly an ideal rookie campaign for a player most fans were hoping would offset the loss of Chandler Parsons.
No one was sure what to expect from Dekker as he suited up for Summer League. When he appeared to have hurt his leg in their opening game in Vegas, once more there was a collective ‘not again’ refrain. However, Dekker returned in the very next game and was just as productive.
