Sam Dekker not focusing on pressure ahead of looming NBA Draft

Sam Dekker not focusing on pressure

Promising small forward Sam Dekker has insisted that he is not putting any pressure on himself as the prospect of playing NBA basketball looms ahead of the upcoming Draft.

Dekker has spent his college years at the Wisconsin Badgers, and recently made headlines having produced a standout three-pointer at the expense of expected number one pick Karl-Anthony Towns.

"Some people put so much pressure on themselves in their workouts," said Dekker, according to the NBA's official website.

"To me, it doesn't matter who I'm playing against. I just like playing ball. I'm just trying to do like I've always done, and have fun with it and enjoy it."

Dekker's three-pointer against the Kentucky Wildcats denied the college outfit the chance to become the first side since Indiana to finish a season unbeaten.
