Is Exum The Worst Player in The NBA Who Gets Minutes?

This is the year to let him figure it all out. Jazz are not oging anywhere. It is all about player improvement. That just happens to be leading the Jazz to a decent draft pick (so far). Jazz are in 6th in the draft as of right now, but Boston, Denver, Detroit and Indiana are all within 2 games of Utah. That would be a big drop in the draft.

just keep focused on improving our team Snyder. You have studs in Hayward, Gobert, Favors and Burks. Potential in Exum and Hood. Still some hope for Burke.

I think I get what you're saying here. You're saying that when a certain poster gets a reputation for being a dumbass who sucks out loud more often than not, they then somehow attain a reputation for being a crappy poster with little credibility, if any at all. It's almost as if human beings are able to remember the many, many stupid things that have been suggested by said dumbass, and put that person in a different category than non-idiots when considering the source of an idea. Interesting theory.

Do you know why you two read my posts?

Who gets minutes, more specifically 20+ per game. Of course there are scrubs on 10-day contracts who never see the court who aren't as good as Exum.

Nik Stauskas, Foye, Ryan Kelly, Kirk Hinrich, Gary Harris, Kyle Anderson, Probably Lance Stephenson, Mike Miller, Channing Frye. I think these players are playing worse than Exum this year. I am sure there are more.

Nah!

It's over. I knocked him out. I'm not gonna kick him while he is down.


Back to the discussion.

Exum sucks cause he's young. Probably won't t suck later.

Now the thread can be closed.

Let's just remind ourselves that he is still two years younger than when Trey entered the league and nearly four years younger than Carter-Williams.

And Ex is only 6 months younger than Giannis Antetokounmpo is today....

he was 2 months younger than Kyrie Irving was when he was drafted, who was a 19 year old rookie point guard, and Irving went on to average 19/5/4 on 47%/40%/87% his rookie campaign.

a 19 year old rookie stephon marbury put up 16/8/3 on 41%/36%/72%

Everyone uses this "19 years old" thing, and while it does have significance, it cant just let us just dismiss everything that happens on the court... so lets look at him compared to the other players in his situation. There have been 92 other rookies 19 and younger, with 28 of them being guards.

Dante's Rank out of the 92 other rookies 19 and younger | rank out of the 28 guards

Efg% - 49/92 | 13/28
win shares - 80/92 | 23/28
PER - 77/92 | 24/28

He could be worse, but he could certainly be better, even for being 19.

Exactly. Giannis is a good comparisson becaue both Giannis and Dante both came from really crappy foreign competition and were very young coming into the NBA. Giannis showed a ton of potential, a lot of flashes. Dante flashes are pretty much limited to the defensive end. Offensively he makes some decent reads and passes, but that is because he never looks at the rim.

The positive things I have seen from is he has flashed some pretty nice passing skills, his shot is better than we expected, and his length looks like it could be a defensive factor.


I think his biggest problem is that he plays a little timid. He probably has more inside him right now that we just aren't seeing. Maybe he is trying to hard to do the right things. When he feels more comfortable with who he is out there the game will slow down and he will play with more confidence.

I like him. I don't think he'll be a superstar, but he will still probably be a low end all star one day.
