Exum is 6'6 with a 6'9 winsgpan and elite speed. How on Earth is he only getting .2 steals per game? Per 48 minutes it goes up to a whopping .5 steals per game.

I'm not saying you have to get a ton of steals to be a good defender, but Exum is providing 0 defensive playmaking right now.
 
His dribble could be tighter, and I agree about the steals, at least one per game is to be expected from a player like him.

He's more of a position defender... this is notable though. He should be able to dig in on guys driving and do more there in help situations.

He doesn't really take any risks on the basketball court... so this is not too surprising... also he gets a terrible whistle so I'm sure he plays scared a lot.

He might have slow hands too... he's not an expert ball handler.

Dante is a puzzle that is likely never fully solved.
 
I admit he should get more steals. But also he doesn't gamble like Rubio for example. He doesn't need to. Players that gamble can't stay in front of their man

He has alot to improve. But he's the only one on the roster that has the tools to be special. Thats including donovan I think the best thing for Dante is to go to another team. Cause I want to see that potential play out. If he works it out then watch out.
