    More assets... *Yawn*... Probably will be traded to 76ers for some athletic scrub in a year...

    He does one thing better than anyone on this team... Hit midrange shots

    it's the 18th pick, about as good as you're going to get. He'll fight right in launching 3. He'll have trouble keeping up with 3's and getting bulldozed by 4's in the post though.

    I like the pick. Solid backup and good insurance for when Durant is injured.

    I don't love the pick, but it'd be a real mistake to underestimate Dekker's athleticism.

    This guy.. Lol... You are such a disgrace to the Rockets fan base. All you do is hate on the team and b**** and moan about everything. What is sad is 99% of the time you don't have a clue as to what you are talking about.

    Another 6'9" forward. Oddly I'm not upset this time. Dekker is a good player

    Decker should FEAST on scrub points running with Harden while throwing lobs to Howard. Mid Range shot...now we got DMO and this guy that can do it. Definitely looks as tho Jones is on the trade block

    If he refines his jump-shot, he kinda reminds me of Harrison Barnes.

    Unlike Parson, he looks like he can rebound.

    Wasn't Morey high on him when he got drafted? Makes sense.

    Interesting and astute comparison, having watched a lot of barnes this year. very similar athleticism, but I don't think Dekker will disappear as often. You will know he's on the floor.
