How did Exum look last night?

I took some NyQuil and hit the hay by 9pm my time.

So how did he look? The more answers, the better.
 
Had a number of great drives and finishes at the basket, a few very good passes, generally looked good on defense. Hit a three, but even after hitting the first one, his nest two threes looked very awkward. No confidence in his shot at all. As a whole, positive game for Dante.
 
He looked fantastic. His drives were beautiful. He seems to have mastered the scoop layup shot when you don’t touch the ball with your non dribbling hand (like jingles but he finishes above he defender). His best drive was his only one that he attacked the middle of the floor. In he right side of the court he got by his man going left with his left hand and attacked hard and fast and finished over and through 2 defenders.
He had a couple of very very good passes and some other nice ones too.
Played great great defense.
Went to the line once and made both free throws.

The bad: His outside shot is still fugly and probably always will be. I have no faith in and he doesn’t seem to either. Defenses will recognize this and give him the outside shot and do everything they can to prevent the drive.
His handle is poor.
He still just looks goofy.
 
One other good thing..... I prefer him on the court over royce (Royce made both his attempts last night and played well too though. Dante was better)

That drive and finish you talk about had me salivating was a tough shot and finish and he made it look easy and effortless
 
The best part is he did a lot of this against one of the best back-up PG's in the NBA who would probably start for about a dozen teams.
 
Offensively, he looked waaay more aggressive than usual. He recognized the openings on the defense and drived quickly and purposedly towards the basket. On defense, he was conservative, mainly choosing to try to stay between his man and the basket instead of pressing or playing the passing lanes. Both his quickness and length worked on his favor, but he made at least one mental mistake on defense, that I recall - perhaps two. It was a very easy game, but he did well, IMO.
 
When he replaced Rubio he actually out played him. But the entire starting lineup was sluggish and disinterested to start the game. Exum was one of the guys that came in and gave them energy and really got the game going for the Jazz.

Royce went 1/2 missed his only 3pt attempt.

I saw him make about a 10 foot jumper and a layup.

Just checked the box score. He was 2-3. I must have missed his three point attempt
 
Somebody's going to offer Exum a ridiculous amount of money, aren't they? I was under the assumption that it wasn't going to happen, but those drives last night, not a lot of players can do that. . .
