I'm loving the number choice for both of these guys.
Dante Exum to wear #11, Rodney Hood to wear #6 for the Jazz

Aaron Gordon is going to wear #00 for the Magic. Lmao!!!
Ostertag and who else wore that?
[soapbox]
In most cases, I have grown to hate the idea of retiring numbers for players. I've seen Exum wear both 7 and 14, but Pete Maravich and Jeff Hornacek have taken those numbers off the table, so he's 11. I have no issue with 11, but if Exum would prefer 7 or 14, why not? I'd like to see teams hang a banner honoring a player, but leave the number available. If I had to, I'd only retire the numbers of true NBA greats, like maybe hall of famers. Maybe even more exclusive.
But I ask you, if the Jazz hung a banner for Horny and Maravich (who hardly played in Utah BTW), would it be so bad to let Exum use one of those numbers?

Hood is a different story. I assume he'd prefer 5, but JLIII had it first. Maybe if JLIII disappears (via waiver or trade, I'm not planning anything illegal), Hood will change it up like Burke did last year after Carroll left.

Couldn't agree more. 32 and 12 are the only numbers that shouldn't be available to current/future Jazz players.

IIRC, and somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but in at least one of the games or highlights I've seen of Exum, he's wearing #11. So that may be his preferred number among those he's worn.
