"Everything is on schedule so far," Dekker said of the mid-February target to start full workouts. "I can't wait."

Rockets rookie Sam Dekker on Wednesday went through his first full practice with the team since his Nov. 20 back surgery, saying after he felt better than he expected given how long he had been out.
"It felt good," Dekker said. "I thought it was going to mentally a lot tougher, the quickness of the game. But I actually felt good. I felt in rhythm. There's obviously rust to knock off, but I was excited by how I felt."
Dekker is expected to practice with the Rockets until he is considered ready for a heavier workload in games with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the NBA Development League.
"We're going to do it by increments, just get me in shape and get my feet wet," Dekker said. "It's not like they'll throw me in there and I'll play 35 minutes. It's a slow process. But if all goes well down there, hopefully I can get back up and help our team out."

All things considered he played pretty solid I'd say. Fresh of back surgery with very little practice and posted a positive +/-. Not sure how confident I am in his jumper though
