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

But I guess if you do feel he is top 5 already, I can see why you have hope that he could be a pretty darn good player at some point.

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?

Hey look everyone! Sfc on cue to rain on the parade!

Coming from you, that's a compliment!

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

Ebolarama

This was a deep draft

donnerstag

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

johnnycarson

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

what is interesting is the lack of aggressiveness. can that be

We don't know what the coaches are telling him

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

Not really, Often times guys that get a ton of steals also go for a ton and get

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

BGRTHNUMEGO

Just watch the freaking game man

Ebolarama

4/1/15 11:28am

You should watch him.

Ebolarama

4/1/15 11:21am

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

smokymountainrain

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

smokymountainrain

4/1/15 11:17am

Pick one to play for the Jazz: Exum or THan. Who ya got?

BGRTHNUMEGO
