Can the Dante Exum Experiment Please End

[vossy_3]

The Jazz are losing games due to subpar PG play this season. This is not something that can be revisited, it must be addressed immediately. The ridiculous on/offcourt numbers have shown that Dante simply cannot help in winning games. Due to the constant injuries, the Jazz need a better backup plan than a player with no skills.

"The Jazz are losing games due to subpar PG play this season"

I'm guessing you haven't explained yourself properly, because I would have thought George Hill has played pretty well at PG this season.

Why do you continue to think Exum is the reason Jazz lost games this season?

Have you noticed that Hayward, Hill, Favours, Burks and Hood have all missed quite a few games already, this is probably a fair reason why the Jazz have lost games this season.

How lucky are the Jazz to have supporters like yourself!!

Exum is way too valuable to let go now. #1 we have no idea what his potential is. #2 we'd be selling low, and we never want to do that. #3 Hill isnt a given after this year.

Exum had a horrible game against the Heat. Isn't he entitled to a few? I thought he made a number of good plays against the Nuggets, and was attacking the rim. His passing was a lot sharper than the previous game as well.

This is what good teams do. They stockpile, and develop talent.

The guy is Shawn Livinsgton at least. Without SL, GS has zero titles. He was an xfactor a couple years ago with this length, defense and scoring off the bench.

There are a ton of players who just take a little bit to mature in terms of their game. Steph Curry got an entire college career and 4 or 5 pro seasons before he emerged.

Exum isn't Curry, but he deserves more time. Some of you are so impatient. And some of you just want to bitch so you see your name on another post. Of all of our young players, Exum needs to be groomed because his ceiling is so high.

So if he went back to playing hot potato with the ball again he'd have a much better +\- that's your summation ?

less turnovers and less gambles on defense = higher +/-, yes.

lmfao.

Thanks for the comedy.

Exum started out slow his first season and truly shined at the end of his rookie campaign. The video and the stats show this. I'm sure a lot of his issues are getting back confidence and the feel for the game. He is also being compared to G. Hill instead of Burke, but that will just give him a better goal of where he should be.

I'm not sure whether he will develop, but I've he definitely has the attributes to be amazing. It would simply be nuts to give up on him now.

Folks: X is coming off a serious injury and it will take awhile until he is fully recovered and the rust is shaken off. Ty Wallace and Page had a solid outing vs. the Spurs DLeague team.

Shaun Livingston has an impeccable midrange and post up game, two things I've never seen Dante do, so the comparison is puzzling.

He has shown more potential to be Curry (shooting 3's) than Livingston (posting-up and midrange).

Exum reminds me more of Penny Hardaway physically. I hope he builds into Anfernee's potential.

Shooting 3's, yes. Making 3's, not so much.

Exum is all about projection. Since he had almost no basketball history before playing here, it allows the fans to imagine him to be anything they want, hope for, or dream about. He's Kobe! He looks like Penny! He plays like Livingston! Meanwhile his numbers (reality) look a lot like Diante Garrett.

serious question ... how do you reconcile that his +/- was good and the team won so much with him starting in his rookie year when he probably displayed far less skill ?

Joined the starting lineup at the same time as this guy:
