Chad Ford: Exum > Burke right now; rookie player that's most positively surprising

Problem is Burke's game relies too much on him making shots. He isn't a natural passer of the ball nor can he drive and finish easily (both of which is what MCW does well). He also isn't a very good defender with limited physical attributes, so he can't hang his hat on that neither.


Take away his shooting and he's pretty average, unfortunately.

You're being kind. Take away his shooting and he's below average.

Hard to take away what he never had. Pretty good sample size over 70 games last season and two summer leagues, particularly the last SL when he should have looked like an all-star playing against scrubs and rookies. We had hope after some good preseason games, but those appear to be outliers.
 
David Locke is among us... During his last tip-off he said that there's no way Exum was going to be a starter this year, to get that out of our heads. Where are you David? I know you're disguised as one of us in this forum somewhere...
 
There has to be a scapegoat every year.

Doesn't have to be. But pretty difficult to not criticize a player who is shooting 30%/22%, especially when his shooting was so bad last year. You'd think all he would have done this summer is shoot, shoot, shoot. I wonder if he reads too many American novels.
 
it's clear to me exum's not ready to start. trey is playing very well minus bad shooting. i'll take trey's performance tonight any time any day. but we really need hayward to take over the 4th.
