Official Rubio Support thread

I don't think Exum will be what anyone thinks he will. I see too much CJ Miles in him and his development so far. Flashes of good, lots of meh, solid amount of crap. I just don't see that changing much. Too much of a CJ Miles trajectory.

How long did we take to wise up on Miles? 6 years?

“Dude, you keep forgetting that if CJ had stayed in school, he’d only be in like his 3rd or 4th year of his PhD.”

CJ Miles and Dante Exum are about as diametrically opposed as it gets.
 
Miles issues were inconsistency, but his entire game was predicated around being a scorer. That's a thing that is very attached to ebbs and flows.

Exum's game is more connected to his feel. I think early in the year he was bad, but the entire team was bad. I've talked about how I felt the entire team's issues where spreading to each other, and it wasnt any one players' fault. Just a team wide slump.

Since then (basically around the Korver trade) Exum has been an impact player and consistent in his impact. Exum has the kind of game that he can make an impact consistently outside of scoring.

Just to refresh your memory, Exum played great the first months of the season and often pulled us back from the 10pt hole the starters put us in. He slowed down after that and picked it up again before he was hurt.

No, it's your memory that needs refreshing.

He was OK in October, which is half a month of basketball. He was terrible in November, the first full month of basketball, then got back up in December (and it was in the back half of December that he really picked it up).

No. Thats how I remember it. You said he was bad to start the season, thats simply incorrect, Dante consistently put us back in games that first 3 weeks. Rubio on the other hand was a ****ing abomination for the first 2 months.

You dolt I said nothing about the very start. I said he was bad early in the season. He was awful in November, just go look.
