Floor: riding the pine in China.
Ceiling:
pessimistic = Howard Eisley with height and more athletic
Realistic: more athletic Raymond Felton
Optimistic: 4/5 of Gary Payton (all the defense / 60% of the offense)

Best case: a solid 3 and D guy.
Like it. I'm thinking Gary Payton or Jason Kidd. Those guys could both affect a game so much without even necessarily putting up big numbers. His 12 assists in that game and his Glove-like defense are harbingers of what's to come. IMO he has it in him to be the most improved player of the next three years. Jason Kidd was nearly 22-years-old when he played his first game in the NBA. Let's see where Dante is when he's 22.
That is not best case. He is already a good defender and he is shooting the three at a decent clip right now around 35 percent for the last 2 months. So he is already a decent three and solid D player.
I think his best case is higher than what he is at the end of his 19 year old rookie season.

Curious if that guy follows Peter Novak on Twitter. That guy has been saying the same thing about Exum for a while now.
Best case scenario is he turns on beast mode, and becomes better than Jordan ever was.
The Jazz win 15 straight chompionchips with him running the point.
He gets a bigger statue than the statues, with a gecko on it.
Jazzfanz lives happily ever after.

Better than best case:
After retiring, Dante invents a time travel machine and promptly travels back to '98. Jordan goes to push off Russell, but Dante comes from the weakside and swats that ****. Dante then scores 87 in game 7 taunting MJ up and down the floor until Jordan cries.
The end.

I hate comps, but if we're going there, I still think Penny Hardaway as a ceiling. He's just so timid, raw, and young right now that it is hard to say.
