Seems to be pumping his draft prospects today. Performed well vs. quality defenders. Projected in the mid-late 1st round, maybe higher now. Thoughts? http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=9646167&postcount=215
Actually, the my response to these two is related. I hate Dekker because I'm an Arizona Wildcat and I'm bitter about the game this weekend. I always loved Jason Terry before he was on the Mavs and I'm actually glad to be able to root for him again.
This guy was pretty much a no-show in the 'ship game when asked to make a shot. Sure, he went something like 8-15, but most of those makes were "right place, right time" shots, not "imma drain this beautiful jumper over your contested arms" shots. Just like last night's game didn't derail Okafor's chance of getting drafted high, I don't think the same game will exactly shift the eyes away from Dekker.
I think Gasser was the one with the eye injury. Dekker got hit to the side of the head, but if anyone on the staff felt Dekker wasn't good to go, they wouldn't have let him play, I don't think.

Well, this is not the first time I got excited about the Rockets possibly picking a player after watching him perform in the NCAA tournament and then the Rockets actually picked him... http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=217000&highlight=royce
