well, i'm another Aussie on this board (and the old one) for a few years now. must admit, i DID NOT want exum, as stated in a couple of other threads. i do hope he becomes something special in this league (especially now) but i think he's a huge risk at #5 give his limited exposure and experience. of course if he can becomes half as good as people say he can be i'm all for the pick.
btw i grew up watching his dad DoMiNaTE as a top-level import for the canberra cannons (my NBL team) back in the 80s, so i mean it when i say that i hope to see him do well. suspect he will take some time to get it together, but if trey and alec continue to step-up their own games it can only help. hate hearing the anti-burke/burks talk in this forum, i think they've both got a heap of talent and improvement still to come, hopefully with utah rather than elsewhere.
