Some thoughts

If Exum is so lightning quick, why doesn't he get to the FT line more often, or even simply breakdown the defense more often?

Not saying his speed is an issue, or I think he is slow, but I'm not seeing this elite speed that was hyped up about him.

I think he's still trying figure out the offense and trying to play within himself. I don't think he's been given the license or the green light to wheel and deal just yet.

Takes more than speed to draw fouls and finish. His handle isn't as quick as his feet, his touch is hit and miss, and he lacks the know how and weight to absorb the contact that Burks has, at 19, to get fouls called. The speed, vision, frame, and talent, is undoubtedly real, though.
 
Just want to say that favors has not got enough love by us all so far.

Imo he has been the best player on the team so far...... quietly though

I agree, and I hope it stays that way. I'd love to see him be a quiet 18/10 guy who plays great defense. Him and Gobert at the same time have the potential to be an absolute defensive nightmare for opposing teams, and if Favors can provide nearly 20 points of offense a game it would allow that lineup to flourish.

I'm on record stating that Favors will be and is our best player and the franchise.

I'd say it's the lack of confidence, and the handle. The speed is real. He's had a few hesitation moves (particularly one in the first preseason game IIRC) where he left his defender completely.

I think he is fast with his lateral moves and first step etc but honestly I don't find his court speed impressive at all, as far as I watched so far he gets caught by the athletic guards pretty quick. He's very light on his feet so he reacts very quick but to me he is way too weak body wise to have a really fast sprint.

Btw, I'm just talking out of my rear side, his full court sprint numbers might be impressive or better than most at least, but I just can't check them right now.
