It's obvious - Exum needs to play off the balll (for now)

:confused: disagree...first real in game experience ever against this level...nerves...he will be fine. sloppy yes, but he will tighten it up I believe

I'm not diminishing him as a player at all. It's just obvious he can't play point guard right now - he will be able to make TONS of plays playing off the ball and catching the rock in motion. He definitely has the tools to turn into a primary ball-handler a couple years down the line though. But tightening handle, more specifically developing a left can't happen in a season.
 
I just wont say anything is 'obvious' after one summer league game, especially by a guy who has never played a game like this.
 
Completely disagree. He needs the ball in his hands. You could tell he was uncomfortable playing the 2 in the first half. Right when Trey went out he immediatly took over and looked fantastic

He had some really good passes, which I believe he needs that ball to do.

He can do that playing off the ball, and catching the ball on the perimeter. Just in terms of initiating an offense in the half court, he seems limited because of his handle/strength at this point.

Unfortunately, I don't think people understand this concept.

This level of basketball is mostly fringe NBA players. Mosr kids in summerleague wont even be on a team rosters opening night. Exum might have struggled but that happens to say against this level is just a cop out and untrue. Players have bad games even the best players.

Exum was bothered a little by McRae. Mcrae is a 6'5" freak with over a 7' wingspan. Exum should make mince meat out of most of his SL defenders going forward.
 
Exum is more of a one than a two. With Exum our pg, will have a physical advantage of either being taller or quicker. Trade Burke.
