Reggie Jackson's year

[My2Cents]

If that's true then the Jazz don't deserve any fans. Your 2 cents on this is asinine.

Why, because I think the Jazz are committed to Exum? It's asinine to believe otherwise.

Hello?

I don't have a problem with what you said. It makes sense. Ingles was starting and Hood hadn't established himself yet. I just don't think they would have started Jackson regardless. Difference of opinion.

As Exum is the one and only reward for tanking, you bet your *** I'm interested in giving him every opportunity (and incentive) to succeed within reason.

Exum was a 19 year old rookie. Jackson is 25. When Jakcson was a 21 yr. old rookie he averaged 3 PPG on 32% shooting. And yes, I think Exum will be great. Guilty as charged.

Then why would Exum have started over Jackson, assuming the Jazz would have gotten him? It will be a miracle if Exum is ever as good as Jackson is now.

When Jakcson was a 21 yr. old rookie he averaged 3 PPG on 32% shooting...

And yet his PER, win shares, etc was far beyond what Exum put up last season.

Why, because I think the Jazz are committed to Exum?..

If they are so committed to Exum, that they won't acquire any other talent at his same position, that is a mistake. If Exum really is so great, let him beat someone out to get his time.

Exum, and his 5.7 PER? The beer goggles you people have for this guy must be a mile thick. Exum has done nothing in the NBA, or elsewhere for that matter. Reggie is putting up a 21.7 PER this season. He is playing like a top-30 player in the NBA. Dante's numbers resemble a mediocre DLeaguer.

I wouldn't go as far to say Jackson is playing like a top 30 player. However the love for Exum here is completely unfounded. I don't know if I've seen a player that has done so little get some much love.

Bump.

With all the talk of trading assets for a 5th tier point guard on a short contract...

REggie Jackson is having a better year than Teague.

Yeah it seemed at the time that we would trade Kanter and possibly Burke for Jackson. I wish I knew what happened with that trade.

I understand every reason DL didn't take in Reggie. I just want to bitch about the Jazz being treadmill dickwads at every step of this so-called rebuild.

This will fail, and it's going to cost them all of what little remains of the Stockton-Malone-Sloan equity. Most those fans have become disgusted with the franchise and left.

Exum can play SG. I'd rather have Dante Exum starting at shooting guard than Hood or Burks.

Don't you actually need to be able to shoot to play SG?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Still think Exum will improve dramatically on the offensive side next year. His shot looked better than expected as a rookie, but had no confidence. Limited sample size, but he played with confidence in SL and international play. Can daily see him coming back confident and as an improved shooter. When you tear an ACL, one thing you get to work on a lot is your shot. Hopefully he makes the most of it.
