Article on Exum being 3rd star for Jazz

I think people are undervaluing Exum, and I get it. He’s had an injury plagued beginning to his career and his second full year healthy he didn’t play well and had a ton of DNPCD’s.

My argument is... look at how much improved he was when he came back for the final 14 + playoffs. There was no reason to make him a rotational player in the system, yet he earned it, even with the improvements and growth, and it was considerable growth, he is still incredibly raw with tons of room to get better, and better he will get. He’s still learning how to play the nba game. When he figures it out, it will be a beautiful thing to behold. I’m thinking a juiced up Devin Harris from his nets days. There’s no doubt in my mind he’ll have every opportunity to get there with his work ethic and desire to be great.

I see his physical gifts and speed with that length, and his ability to lock guys down on defense. He might be able to be as big an influence on a game if not more then Gobert, and that is fascinating to think about.

Lock down defense and a blossoming offensive game. And he's shown he can distribute and play within the system. He may not become a star but he'll probably be on the fringe at a minimum. I'm surprised he still has doubters, TBH.

Because he hasn't done anything yet.
Professional skepticism, despite the flashes.

He's shown quite a bit though. Considering his circumstances you've gotta be excited about his development.

He's going to learn a lot from Ricky, Donovan, Jingles, etc. Think of how different the team was the last time he had extended playing time.

I am excited. I'm not a hater.
 
I'm thinking Exum is going to go off this season. He's in a perfect situation. Get the Defense to respect his shot and he's deadly.

He got paid, had a front row seat to the phenom that is DM45, knows he can keep with him and has some even better skilz sets. What more could he ask for? Perfect storm.
 
I think he will play a big role off the bench in a 6th man role and I can see him finishing games with Favors on the bench. As long as he stays healthy and no one jumps on his back, I believe he will make a big step this year.
