.Who else has a 6'6" defensive stud at PG in the NBA .......F*&king no one
Even in his best rookie year as a defender Exums Defensive WS ( 0.033 ) would be ranked 38th among all guards in NBA right now ( way bellowe leader Marcus Smart who has 0.056) . Now if you value size so much and trying to say that no other PG at 6'6 is as good on defense as Exum I can still burst your bubble as Lonzo Ball has Def WS this season of 0.048. At the end of the day size can only give you so much - defense is more about heart and motor - thats why both Mitchell and Rubio blow Exum out of the water when it comes to defense.
Stop being such a homer for crying out loud!

Interestingly if we look at February only we have both Mitchell and Rubio in top 4!!!

He might play today if he does well enough in practice.This morning he was assigned to the SLC Stars for practice. Trying to knock the rust off. One of the final parts of getting back into a game for the Jazz. Estimating that he will upgraded from "OUT" for the Thursday game against the Suns.
There is 0% chance Exum plays for the Stars. I doubt his agent would want his soon to be RFA have a chance to be exposed by having a bad game for a D-League team. It's just a one off practice most likely.that's perfect for me. having him play for the stars for a bit will re-integrate him into the game without messing up the chemistry and when he does come back to the team, he will be able to legit challenge for time instead of hurting the team because of his 'potential' for a week.
Lol, just saw on the news that he is going to play with the stars.There is 0% chance Exum plays for the Stars. I doubt his agent would want his soon to be RFA have a chance to be exposed by having a bad game for a D-League team. It's just a one off practice most likely.
