Chad Ford: Exum > Burke right now; rookie player that's most positively surprising
- Thread starter Flc
- Start date
I don't know if you've seen U18 games of Exum. He used to post up even against SG and SFs and abuse them with some nice post up moves. I can't wait until his body catches up with his skill... Look at the scouting vid of draftexpress. They even put posting up as a strength of his. He also had about 10FTA/game in one of the World cups(i.e. he thrived on contact). Right now he can't do it simply because his body and strength are not there yet for NBA-level.

not anymore.
exum is much smaller than penny though. but yeah, i see similarities in their quick first step and good court vision. we should be delighted if exum is half as good as penny.
Retired?
pretty much every damn stars are floppers nowdays. cp3, blake, dwade, bron, KD, curry, and etc. they all flop. it's the new era. parker isn't even the best flopper in his own team.
dirk and bron think there are nothing wrong with flop. i'm disgusted by it too.

No, not in the traditional sense. I left because I couldn't do the work I really wanted to do (which drifted more toward social work and literature).

This is what I was thinking when he quoted your post.
He just can't seem to leave you alone. It's weird

Exum has 52 minutes the last two games ,the minutes are climbing............guys say Exum needs a better handle ,he's not ready to bring the ball up consistently but the turnovers are saying different............Exum 115 minutes /6 turnovers--1 turnover per 19 minutes............................Burke 186 minutes/16 turnovers---- 1 turnover per 11 1/2 minutes
Maybe Exum's lefthand isnt as good as they like ,but results matter and Exum has found a way of getting the ball up the court without turnovers

I think he will as well as the rest of the team.
I think we match up well against Detroit. They well struggle to defend the perimeter imo
It IS weird. I dunno, may be he's lonely? LOL ...
I believe that we have a chance to win 3~4 games on this road trip.

I know it is only a small sample but it will be interesting to see how Exum goes on this 5 game roadtrip
At home he is hitting 52% FG - 50% 3PTS - 3.5 ASt and 0.75 TO
Away he is hitting 40% FG - 0% 3PTS - 1 AST - 1.5 TO

Aren't we like 30-2 versus Detroit over the past 16 years? We could start an all-Jazzfanz all-star team with Jazz jerseys and beat Detroit. Their fans simply chalk it up as a loss when they see us on the schedule no matter how bad we are. I'll be disappointed if we lose that one.

What are Kanter's 3pt numbers?
