How can you ever have a rational conversation with Exum stans when this is their mindset?

I'm far from a Dante fan but I do often question what Rubio does to earn his minutes.

I mean if this is a conversation about Mitchell starting at PG and Rubio getting a reduced role, I'll hear it.

But what on Earth has Exum done to deserve those Rubio minutes?? That's ridiculous. He was atrocious the majority of the year besides a couple weeks right before the injury.

Rubio got a triple double in a playoff game, and was a catalyst for our run last year. Rubio did more in our 35 game stretch last year than Exum has done in his entire career. He's the incumbent, and Exum hasn't come close to unseating him.

Thankyou.

Apparently seeing Rubios limitations and wanting Dante to one day be be given the same opportunity as Hill, Mack and Ricky makes me a one eyed Dante homer.

Only 20 players in the history of the league have played more minutes than Exum and put up a lower PER than he has.

And you say the Jazz have not given him an "opportunity".

Exum was pretty good in the first 8 - 10 games or so, he closed some games over Rubio in that stretch too before completely ******** the bed for most of November and the start of December. I'd say it's been 30/40/30 for good exum/garbage exum/injured exum on the season so far percentage wise, but you're right in saying that he's done nothing to suggest unseating Rubio. He's only just starting to figure out how to excel in his bench role, he has no business getting a starting spot right now.
 
Can’t believe exum will have been out for nearly 8 weeks after the asb over the rolled ankle. Ricky pulled his hamstring after Dante got hurt, sat out for 6 games, and has played in 9 more since returning, all with Dante still out.

The 39 games from 10/17 to 1/5 was the longest span Dante has had without a significant injury since 2015.

Yes he does. Did U see how he was playing before he got injured. Sometimes I think U people don't watch the game. He played his best basketball ever before right. U know why for the first time in his career he played his game ball in hand. He shot a great clip from the field. He has a incredible combination with the bigs better than anyone on the team. And not playing many minutes. Also he's 6'6-6'7 can guard anyone and he's a great athlete. I've said this before U need great athletes to beat great teams. U people won't get this cause U struggle to understand the game

A two-three week stretch where he played well isn't enough to warrant unsettling Rubio. If you're Snyder or even the FO thinking about the upcoming offseason you want to see him consistently do this for longer than like 8 games before you start to think about whether he's your PG going forward or if he's just a great off the bench guard.

The coach has been putting him in the corner for 3 years. Do U agree? Do U agree that this was the first time he's had a chance to play his game? Just think Ricky can't play against elite guards. U can't win with him.
