Small Forward: Sam Dekker (2016-2017)

Although Sam Dekker is no longer in the NBA, the former Badger great had a solid year with the Houston Rockets early in his career as a role player. In 2016-17, Dekker played in 77 games with Houston on a team that went to the conference semifinals in the 2017 playoffs. There was no true small forward in the mix of solid Wisconsin NBA players, but Dekker has the versatility to play the position even if Houston listed him as a power forward. The former Badger averaged 6.5 points per game and played over 18 minutes per contest in 2016-17 with the Rockets.
