Sam Dekker – 6’9, 229 lbs. Small Forward (Wisconsin, Jr.)

Strengths: A do-it-all small forward on both ends of the court coming off of a strong junior campaign. Good size and feel for the game. Played his best at the end of the year, showing clutch shot-making ability.

Weaknesses: Needs to improve as a passer. Jumper can be hot and cold.
