Wut? Arroyo was better passer, much better handles and dribbling, much better mid range shooter, 3 pt shooter, FT shooter. Arroyo was not as good at finishing at the rim though. And the biggest difference, Arroyo was true PG who knew how to run the offense.
Just a reminder how Carlos and his Puerto Rico team crushed USA "dream team" ( James, Iverson, Wade, etc) in 2004. Really you guys need to re-evaluate your understanding about basketball.

This has escalated from Arroyo being a better PG than Dante Exum, to Carlos Arroyo crushed the USA Olympic team single handed and was the main reason for them only earning a bronze medal instead of gold. And you perhaps need to re-evaluate your understanding about basketball. Because the 2004 USA Olympic team was never the "dream team". There was only one of those and that was in 1992. You don't remember that team obviously because you would never ever call another Olympic team by that name if you did. I do. There was nothing like the 1992 dream team and there may never be another team like that ever again. Puerto Rico Olympic team was led by Arroyo and achieved 3 wins and 4 losses. They beat the USA team, but they were horrible. The USA team was horrible. Despite the players, it was aweful to watch. What the hell does that have to do with Arroyo? They still did better than Puerto Rico? What the hell is your point? What are you beating your chest about?? Your basketball and NBA knowledge is so short. You spend 90% of your celebrations on 10% of success.

That season is universally recognized as one of the most exciting, and easily one of the most appreciated by fans.

Universally recognized as one of the most exciting? One of the most appreciated by fans? It was exciting that we didn't completely tank like we were projected to. I appreciated that season as well. But I would never in a million years say it was one of the best seasons that the Jazz has played. I could see where it would be one of the most appreciated seasons by Jazz fans younger than 28 years old. You wouldn't remember many season before the Ultra Exciting 2003-2004 season. To those of us that remember the late 80's, 90's and so forth. That season was, like you are glad the Jazz made noise, but it was heart breaking. It was the first time since 1984 that we didn't make the playoffs.
You obviously don't remember the late 80's, 90's Utah Jazz. We were in the Playoffs, and contended for a Western Conference Finals performance year after year. I'm not saying that we made it to the Western Conference Finals year after year, but we were good enough that you always knew that there was a chance. After Malone went to LA, and Stockton hung it up, our expectations never lowered. We had seen our team go to the Playoffs year after year in an era when some of the very best of all time were playing.
So excuse me if I do not see Carlos F_ing Arroyo as the allstar and superstar that you do. I watched a Jazz team that was an underdog to make the playoffs for more than a decade, and they amazed against hall of fame built Western Conference teams year after year.
You celebrate watching Carlos Arroyo winning 42 games in a weakened NBA era and call it one of the most exciting, all you want. It was exciting to see them not end up the 14th team in the West and instead end of the 9th team. I can admit that. But one of the best seasons the Jazz have had since the Stockton and Malone era? That is an insult to the 2006-2007 Utah Jazz who went to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 1998. Losing to the eventual Champs in the Spurs. And knocking off the Western Conference champs Dallas Mavericks in the semi's.
Keep your Arroyo.

My point is Dante never did anything close to Arroyo. Or you have some data, stats, results, etc to prove me wrong?

You know, when Exum comes back our schedule is going to be extremely easy. Assuming he stays healthy for more than a week, your desperate attempt to discount anything the Jazz do without Exum is probably gonna bite you in the ***.

You seem to be venting and complaining about other peoples feelings about Exum. You cant control how other people feel.

The only impressive win in that stretch was against the Nuggets, outside of that the Jazz beat up on bad teams with zero PGs and lost to teams they need to beat to be considered contenders, and lost pretty badly in most cases.

Spurs was a win against a playoff team and a blowout as well. That win was impressive. Jackass

Plus some playoff teams.
Also they often lost to some of the worst teams in the league when X was healthy. Member that 50 point loss to Dallas?

Imo beating bad teams is better than losing to bad teams.

Another hater. Just waiting for the freak athlete to come. It's boring watching slow players.
 
I feel Exum could have really helped us last night against the Warriors. He at least adds some depth to our team. And let’s not forget how well he did against Harden in the playoffs.

Regardless, one thing that we can all agree on - because it’s a FACT - it’s that he gets injured a lot. Freak accidents, serious injuries, whatever the case may be, he’s been in street clothes for much of his career.

Exum needs to hit the gym HARD. He needs to put on some muscle mass. He still looks like a child running around with adults. But I’ll say it again... I still believe the sky is the limit for this guy. We know what Rubio’s ceiling is - he’s not suddenly going to become a different player - but we still don’t know Exum’s.

I agree he has to put muscle and weight on
