With the Fifth Pick... Dante Exum

[Diamond77]

I'm super happy we picked Exum!!

I have faith in DL!

I stated my prediction on Exum in my thread but I cannot fault DL for swinging for the fences.

People dogging on Exum are silly. Face it, you don't know whether he will be good or not. He could be a bust. He could be a really good player. He could fall somewhere in between.

Duh! That's exactly why we're dogging on him. I would've preferred a little more of a sure thing.

Feeling very disappointed. I'm not sold on exum. I hope I'm wrong though. Just seems like we endured a terrible season and didn't get that franchise player

I couldn't be happier. I had him #2 only behind Wiggins.

Can someone on a computer embed all 4 of the Dante Exum Foot Locker commercials?

As one of the few existing Aussie jazz supporters, can I warn u all that there will be a huge influx of Aussies now in this site. That's the way we Aussies work.

Can I just say that it is a given with exum that he will have a high bball iq, his ego will be controllable, and he will be desperate to win. You won't have the attitude issues that might tend to affect American athletes more regularly. He will be down to earth and a hard worker.

Looking forward to seeing him contribute.

Join in... I'm an Aussie as well!!!

You mean someone with a predictable ceiling that continues to lead us towards mediocrity? Yeah, we need more players like that.... . We swung for the fences. I won't say we didn't. He's a risk. At least give him a chance before dogging him is my point. You never know what will happen.

I am excited but I don't expect much from him for another 12 months.

Just dropped by to express just how excited I am by this pick. A complete unknown! Someone who can be a bust or a superstar. It sucks that we have to wait for a few months to see him play. But I haven't been this excited for the season to begin in a very long time.

Go Jazz!

Well, I'm worried. We all should be. But it's a swing-for-the-fence type deal. I'm still braced for a trade, however.

We took a chance on a guy that could be Kobe...

Kobe averaged 31 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks per game his senior season. This comparison is very unrealistic.

Exum is an unknown who could be a good player. I don't see him as a franchise player like Kobe however.
