Can the Dante Exum Experiment Please End

I think he plays long, just not very athletic. Everything is below the rim. These crafty finishes are nice, but I think he'd be better off going over and through guys. He needs to get to the line more.

The place where he doesn't use his length is the passing lanes. If he can do one thing well, it's his ability to cover ground on a closeout. He needs to use his speed and length to get into the passing lanes as well.

Yeah, maybe the lack of vertical athleticism off one foot is another culprit in what I was talking about. The easiest way to see what I'm talking about is with his floaters - he doesn't do them jumping up on balance, but rather flings them while he's on the ground in the lane. It's a really awkward floater IMO, he does that a lot with his rim finishes too... doesn't jump up to try to get over a contest(which he should be great at with his length), but rather lays them up while running(i.e. he's ground bound on a lot of them).
 
I love how Exum is attacking the basket more and more. He is able to get by a lot of people. If he can get a little stronger, and finish at the rim look out.
That first step is delicious.
 
he's got to play defense and make shots. Cant play him if the opponent's PG doesn't have to guard him at the 3point line. that's not good. He's gotta put the shot down and he's got to defend.

he's been doing much better. Still needs to improve.

You don't get that fast with that speed and not be athletic,Exum needs more strength .The impressive finishes will come .Getting to the basket is the 1st step.Finishing the drives with more consistency the 2nd step ,Throwing down with the authority the 3rd step.

Agreed. It's a process. His rookie year he wasn't even going to the rim. Now he's getting there and learning how to finish.
 
Who wants to bet we could get Wall an Gortat for Favors Exum Burks an a ton of draft picks? They need to blow that team up.

Wall Hill would be so dope.

Wall, Hill, Macke
Hill, hood
Hayward, Hood, JJ, ingles
Lyles, Gortat, Fat ***
Gobert, Gortat
 
Favors Burks Exum Draft picks


For



Cousins Gay.

Sac is dumb enuff to do this. They need rebuild.

Hill, Mack
Hood, Hayward
Hayward, JJ, Gay, Jingles
DMC, Boris, Jingles
Gobert, Whitney

We get a true superstar an deep bench. They get trade pieces an draft assets.

You really want to be paying Dragic ~20M in 2020? With the contracts we have to give out to keep our players in the next couple of years I'm not sure I want to pay him that even next year. I'd much rather give it to George Hill.
