Houston Rockets fans: Are you ready for your new Chandler Parsons?
Sam Dekker, the Rockets' first-round selection out of Wisconsin, was spotted by his mom while on lawn-mowing duty. Despite making it to the NBA, Dekker isn't yet too big for his britches.
He spent part of Sunday doing chores.

Dekker draws plenty of comparisons to Chandler, who was a favorite in Houston before bolting to the rival Dallas Mavericks.
The list of similarities between Dekker and Parsons includes height, size, ethnicity, shooting ability, athleticism, versatile inside-out game, and (apparently) the propensity to go shirtless.
Parsons, rather famously, moonlights as a part-time model.
