Can Exum be fixed?

[Dali]

Yep, at least from the outside looking in, there doesn't seem to be any friction between Ex and the coaches. I even saw Quin and Ex have a good chuckle after one of his turnovers against the Rockets.

We've all said a lot about Dante's development. Some of us have said that at times Quin may have made a mistake in playing Shelvin over him, and there's also the fact that Dante himself isn't blameless for sure. I think both of those are true up to a point.

The biggest factor is of corse missing almost 2 full seasons, and that is the issue that has hurt the most.

I'm a man of faith who believes that everything happens for a reason. I choose to believe that Exum will become a very good player. I also choose to believe that had Exum started to reach his potential sooner, we might not have traded for Rubio or maybe even drafted Donovan Mitchell. If we play our cards right and have faith and have patience, we might end up having one of the best backcourts in the entire NBA very, very soon.

Exum played with confidence tonight.

Exum's defense has been elite. Nice to see that translate to confidence on offense.

So excited to see what the role players can do at home with a crowd.

Paging MVP, Numberica, Siro, Alt13 and anyother Exum heretic to come pay homage ...

Best game Exum played in playoffs by far. If he can do that 3 more games we have real chance to win the series. It was amazing to see him grow some balls tonight even after bs call after call on him when it was Harden who was creating all the contact.

I've been hard on Danté lately, wow he was awesome tonight. That defense was as close to perfect against Harden as you'll get, big moments when he hit his 3's too.

I think Quin rotated him, Royce and Neto perfectly tonight to manage the fouls, really happy for Ex.

Refreshing to see both some ballz and mental toughness from the kid. Big step fwd for him today.

It will be interesting to see how harden adjusts

According to ESPN Stats and Info’s Twitter exum guarded Harden on 22 possessions. The most of any Jazz player. Harden scored a grand total of 2 points in those 22 possessions.

Snyder may have found the beards Kryptonite.

At one stage in the second half, CP3 was screening Dante on every possession just to get Mitchell to switch onto Harden.
