"but I'm fully recovered now."

You guys ignoring the fact that he is soft. He is fast yet very rarely drives in the paint and if he does he ends up knocked on the *** due to being so weak. He is mentally weak and is afraid of contact. Now coming of the major surgery he will be even more scared of contact. Even his speed is way overrated. Randy Foy had better sprint numbers than him for example. G. Hill was faster and stronger than him in combine and neither is elite athlete, so I laugh when Exum is called elite by delusional fans. Elite should be reserved to people like Westbrook, James, Ibaka, Rose ( before injury), Wall, Byombo and maybe few more. Exum is not elite athlete. Stop it.

you know he did play in 82 games his rookie season without injury right ???

I'm curious what it is you think you know that the whole Jazz organization from the front office, coaching staff down don't know about this guy that means he will be such a bust ?

He did got few serious ankles sprains playing for Australia and in NBA summer league and busted his knee playing for Australia as well.

Hey, I did not say he will be a complete bust. Just not superstar or even star as some of you are imagining. Was Kanter a bust? Based that he was 3d pick and Jazz traded him for peanuts some would consider yes, even if he is a decent offensive threat of the bench. Is Shaun Livingston a bust? No, he is very good back up PG. Poor Exum was just overrated before draft and drafted to early, if he would have been taken somewhere in 15-20 range nobody would have unrealistic expectations. So he may be a bust based on his draft position but I do believe he will have a place in NBA. Just doubt Jazz will resign him after 4 years that's it.
 
So you're just regurgitating the criticism of his rookie season as if he's still going to play the same as he was half way through his first season.

And again, what is it that you know that the Jazz hierarchy who see him day in, day out at practices etc and who are completely 100% still sold on him can't see ??

He can't see an incentive to sell unbridled optimism to the fanbase

What gives you hope that he will play better? He is coming of major injury. Thats a huge concern.

I think both Hood and Lyles have far more potential than Gobert. I don't think he'll ever be a star. I don't think he has the offensive tools to be more than an average offensive player. I think his defense is as good as it's ever likely to get, it's really good so that's not a bad thing. I think Gobert is the most over rated Jazz player in a long while.

thank you captain obvious Your insight is enthralling.

You still haven't answered my question, not that i expected you would. You obviously want to hang on to your blinkered view. We'll see how things progress over the next few years.

He was an 18/19 year old rookie coming from basically a high school level of competition. You talk about him like he was a seasoned fully developed out of college player at 24/25 years old with a year of experience in the NBA. Of course at 18/19 he's going to look physically overmatched at times. That doesn't mean he's mentally weak or soft. You have no idea why he didn't drive to the paint often. Did you ever think coaches wanted him to work on that outside shot to gain confidence? When he did drive to the paint he had success. And he will only improve as he gets older as he gets bigger and stronger. The last part of your comment is pure assumption.
