With the Fifth Pick... Dante Exum

fwiw i was able to look up alec burks sr year stats at grandview high school in missouri.

23 pts, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.6 steals
On 53% shooting and 43% from 3 point.

I figured it may be a little bit relevant since they are both long skinny guards that struggle from outside and excel at penetration.

Burks was not even recruited by any of the big schools.
 
I just wonder if he was putting up decent high school numbers in the u.s.a. (like burks did) if he would be as highly thought of
 
I'm a little nervous, but the Jazz got the player with the highest upside of anyone left in the draft and that's what I wanted.

Here we go.
 
Really like the potential line up of

Exum
Burks
Hayward
Favors
Kanter

Hayward will have to shoot better though. Or even sub Hood in for his shooting. So exciting, can't wait to see some summer league action!

Its not just about the numbers though because some kids play in low talent areas, Thats how BJ Mullens became the #1 Player in the class of '08.

How these top players matchup in camps means alot, scouts are watching. Thats usually how the big moves happen.

Dante didnt avoid that process, he was one of the big winners from it.

Dante KILLED IT at the Adidas Nations camp summer of 2012 In LA, at 6'4. Adidas is the one who signed him to a shoe deal. Heres some footage from that camp

Rip Van YB, waking up from his long sleep.
Damn Jazz have now made it IMPOSSIBLE for me not to renew my League Pass subscription. Which means more hours in front of the TV, with the disapproving wife complaining about me not spending more time with her or at least more time on housework. I'm gonna blame DL when those divorce proceedings begin.

Right, HS numbers like he asked for. I am encouraged by the number of FTs against those HS kids though. Not real encouraged by the 60% ft shooting, but the ability to get there is what matters most. He and AB could be a lethal attacking backcourt.

You don't seem to get it. Those aren't just HS numbers. They're numbers against top, elite players. Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart, Elfrid Payton, Jahlil Okafor, Dario Saric, etc.
