Coach Kevin McHale "I thought Sam (Dekker) is getting a little more comfortable"

"Sam is getting a little more comfortable, he’s just got to relax slow down and let the game come to him,”

Sam Dekker in his second taste of the NBA played a shade under 29 minutes, scoring 12 points (5-10 shooting), grabbed 4 rebounds and also threw an assist for good measure.

"I thought Sam is getting a little more comfortable, he’s just got to relax slow down and let the game come to him," Head coach Kevin McHale said of Dekker's night Wednesday "he made a three which was good to see, got to the line a couple times, I thought overall for Sam it’s just going to take a while"

Dekker is playing power forward for the Rockets right now with so many injuries at the four and while it's an unfamiliar position for him he is holding his own.
