Just days after taking the stage as a first-round NBA Draft pick by the Houston Rockets, Sam Dekker is getting back to work.

But it's not work on the basketball court yet. The former Wisconsin forward is back home doing chores.

Dekker's mother is taking advantage of the free labor before her son, the 18th overall pick in the draft, becomes busy more than 1,200 miles away in Texas.
