Will Exum *ever* be as good as Hill is right now?

[colton]

Curious about how the board feels on this matter.

As in will he ever put up a 9 game stretch like Hill has to begin the season? Or will he ever play at that level for an entire season?

I'm hopeful on the first, but really doubtful on the second.

I guess the same question can be asked about Hill

Well it took George Hill 8 NBA seasons to get this good, so safe to say Exum has a lot of time left.

Exum is still at that Gordon Hayward first year pre teen body phase. He's like one of the Monstars before touching the basketball.

There's no way Hill is even as good as Hill is right now.

More pertinent question might be will he be good enough soon enough to be a meaningful contributor in the Jazz window of contention ??

He'll never be a starter if he never gets some swagger out there

I googled Aussie swagger and I got this:

I like it. Waltzing Matilda is a god damn classic.

Yes.

Can he? Yes. He has the talent, and mind to be a special player. He can be an elite defender, a solid 3 pt shooter, and a fine distributer.
We shall see how healthy he stays, how strong he can get, and how is confidence is affected by spells like hes currently going through.

I think that Hill is exums ceiling. I expect that exum never gets to be as good as hill is right now but i have been happy to see some aggression from him this season. Of course all that got him is relegated to the bench and garbage time. smd.
