    Was just having this conversation with a co-worker. Why are all comparisons white/white, black/black, euro/euro?

    Irks the **** out of me

    Because we're looking for similarities. That means height, length, wingspan, shooting ability, and SUBCONSCIOUSLY race.

    So like I said, less frenetic Corey Brewer or less defensively studly with better finish Trevor Ariza. I didn't insult him with those comparisons (though I think he will probably outshoot Brewer.) From I've watched he has good athleticism but not sure he has the lateral quickness to be a great defender.

    That's cool. Guy who can really play well off of stars, hit a set 3, break to the basket, etc.

    Chandler Parsons is probably a pretty good comparison honestly.

    Watching more film of him I love how he moves around when he doesn't have the ball looking for opportunities to get an easy bucket. Harden is going to love this kid.

    Decisive with the ball when he goes for the points and most importantly he can catch it! LOL

    Harden will love driving and seeing Dekker moving into the paint ready to catch one of those crazy passes knowing he'll just go for the bucket instead of gathering like TJones.

    He rarely got the chance to show how good of an athlete he is. Wisconsin never ran in transition.

    Wow... he does not have the lateral quickness or explosion of Scottie. I think he reminds me of a Keith Van Horn. .......Dam it I can not compare him to a black guy.

    Lol. I was thinking Hamilton. Or maybe a slower less talented Mashburn. But I can't shake the Van Horn comparison.

    Cleverly disguised as a black and Dekker thread.

    Posey?? But Dekker will probably be a slightly better scorer.

    That is not nice. He will be better than Lin.
