Following potential 2014 draftees

Exum is as fast as Rose, and taller/longer. He's also less selfish and a better distributor.

I'm not saying Exum is an equal athlete to Rose and Wall, but his potential impact on the game is elite. It depends on work ethic and mental toughness. When Wall and Rose came into the league, neither was a great shooter or passer. Exum is a guy who can really play.

I have Exum as #4 on my board, and would gladly play him ahead of Burke as a starting PG.

exum is faster than rose? that's like saying jeremy lin is faster than rose in straight line because of 3/4 numbers.

rose is an elite athlete. i don't see that from exum's tape on youtube.
 
Yeah, saying Exum is faster than Rose is a really bold statement, and not one I feel confident you truly know 100% what you are talking about. It might be true, but probably isn't.

Right now, anyone talking about Exum, is just talking out their *** IMO.

That's not entirely true, Cy. Mainly true, though.

Exum is NOT faster than Rose, imo. Nor is he 'as' fast.

This is a WILD comp (and everyone knows I hate comps anyway..) but Exum reminds me of Parker. I know it's WAY dumb, that's okay. He's just soooo crafty with the ball and lots of offensive tools. Yes he's totally a different athlete/player... I just like the offensive tool box and the craftiness around the rim.

I mean, yeah there is film, but what is the Australian League that he plays in? How do we compare those leagues and then compare his speed to Rose?
 
probably been talked about a million times already, but what happens if jazz draft embiid? Kanter or favors gone?

not sure if this belongs here or in a separate thread

Kanter gone. Embiid already can do what Kanter does PLUS he plays defense. That would really be a versatile defense with 2 potent pick and roll defender and rim protector. Stretch lineups would be fairly inefficient against the Jazz.

Well he isn't faster if you look at max acceleration or max speed. But Kevin Durant is also faster than D-Rose to the basket because he has legs like a stork and only needs 1 dribble. I think it's more of this sense. Long legs, insanely long first step.

You mean Tony Parker right?

This sentence disqualifies EVERY talk by you about Exum.
What's known are tapes from international play where talented American and Spanish players who are currently at college or learning at the end of benches and in development teams on lease in European leagues to become professionals got totally trashed by Exum.
He played a kids high school tournament that's not competitive. But he doesn't play a league in Australia. His school is an institution that gives gifted athletes a special opportunity to become better at sports with professional assistance while doing school. It's a boarding school.

Just google D A N T E FKING E X U M for gods sake before you open your mouth about him...


Different question now: I am looking at the NCAA backets and I wondered:
Why do 2 teams battle for an 11th seed in the first round to add extra fatigue to them when both teams belong in the tourney instead of dropping out a 16th seed or making two 16th seeds play for that one? I don't get them from a competitive standpoint.
 
Mostly he has just played in U19 events right?

Sorry, there just isn't that much information out about him compared to other players. Saying something as sensational as "He is as fast/faster than Derrick Rose" is dumb.

Kevin Durant isn't faster than Rose to the basket btw.

Yes Kevin Durant is quicker, because he doesn't have to take 3 dribbles which slow him down.
