I think we saw what you're talking about in Dek's one start this year. His 30pt game was a glimpse into what he'll be able to offer with more PT and experience. I don't really like the Harrison Barnes or Batum comparisons. I'll go a bit more old school and say he has a little John Havlicek in him. Havlicek was always moving like a shark in the ocean, he never stopped. Havlicek was also a feisty defender and competitor, who got the most out of his abilities. Dek is not in his class, but if he continues to improve on his game he could be a bit like John accept in a SF/PF kind of role.
He reminds me of Rudy Gay. His defense is decent, rebounding is great, and his shooting is great but inconsistent.
I know people think this is crazy but he reminds me of robert horry, just without the wiry length..... If you think about it...... Rebounds wells Blocks a surprising amount of shots Very athletic And from my eyes he seems to play decent one on one defense (except when clearly overpowered) Kinda clumsy And dunks a lot and finishes well.....
Big Shot Bobby? He who would still be in his cocoon for waiting for the 1st of spring to arrive with the team???
Absolutely . I think he could get there . I've brought up the comparison before . Part of what made Horry so good was his clutch gene , as so far Dekker hasn't shied away from big moments. He's a competitor and i think his shot will improve and hopefully he will gain more athleticism as he continues on the NBA training regimen.
Dekker falls into that category of a being a pretty valuable asset in today's nba. Wing with size/length/athleticism and 3&d potential. That as well as on a rookie contract and shows flashes as well as steady improvement. I wonder what Morey would need to get back to consider trading him. Mid first? Established starter?
