Is that true, though? It's not like Dekker was some random undrafted guy who worked hard and hustled and carved out a rotation spot. He was a really good player in college who got drafted 18th overall and looked reasonably promising once he started getting regular rotation minutes as a sophomore in Houston. Then he was traded to the Clippers in the CP3 trade, didn't have a consistent rotation role at all, and his production absolutely cratered. Different skillset than Hood, but similar in that he really struggled to adapt to a changing role and in that he didn't make a good effort to expand and modernize his game.
Dekkar is a tweener that cannot shoot and isn't overly athletic. He is very limited and was over drafted imo.
Tweener forwards who cant shoot have no place in the modern NBA. I hope he proves me wrong.
