We don't know what the coaches are telling him

sometimes rookie players are told to focus on one aspect of their game in their first year. The next year, he'll improve another aspect and eventually get around to aggressiveness. I wouldn't write him off just yet.

What happens when/if Dante Exum becomes even an average player on offense?

Whatever gets Trey Burke to stop shooting the basketball.

There's a reason Exum was drafted 5th overall

Isn't there a "reason" lots of guys are top 5 or lottery picks?

not sure what's to be implied from that but ok

He's already elite on 1 end of the floor. How many rookies in the past few years

Elite on ball defender. Watching him keep his man out of the paint, get through

This was a deep draft

If Exum and Gobert were to become average offensive players.

and what if he doesnt? do you still keep him around if all he's gonna do

Yes, but its hard to comprehend him not getting substantially better.

Ebolarama

4/1/15 11:13am

If he was an elite offensive player and sucked on defense the decision

Wow. Defense is entirely subjective, so hard to argue, but I don't agree.

Nobody should ever look at blocks or steals again and think those

RE: okay, what other metrics should I be looking at then for Exum's defense?

Just watch the freaking game man

Ebolarama

4/1/15 11:28am

You should watch him.

Exum is a solid defender, but he isn't the wizard defensively so many seem to

How many times did Burke blow right by Lavine? Every single time.

Ebolarama

4/1/15 11:40am

huh? I admitted LaVine was a poor defensive player

smokymountainrain

4/1/15 11:44am

No confidence. He gets by his man consitently, he just pulls it right back out

Ebolarama

4/1/15 11:45am

shows what a joke +/- can be. he could improve substantially
