Chad Ford: the Jazz consider Dante Exum their franchise player

[orangello]

This is a comment on society at large. As Americans we love to see folks fail more than we love to see them succeed. Somewhere along the way, people lost the the concept of being happy for our neighbors, for the members of our community, etc. We now have adopted the mantra of "if I can't have that, they can't either."

Please don't correct your poor spelling. It helps the rest of us to feel better when others fail.

Its a smart idea to have a 6-6 PG these days defensively. Too many great PGs this era has.

Maybe you missed his put back dunk after the buzzer last night. It was impressive.

And it doesn't even look like he's trying that hard.

Rookie Dante Exum told Yahoo Sports that he is not only working on his strength, but also stopped eating junk food to improve his stamina. Yahoo! Sports -

He was eating junk food?! Why did we draft this lazy junk food eating kid? That's it, I want my money back. We should have drafted Stoyowskuss.

Yeah, dude moves like Michael Jackson danced. I wonder if it belies his athleticism because the switch from first to second gear and his liftoffs are so damn effortless. There is no point where you can point to that shows WHERE the speed move takes place, it just does. . .

I followed Elfrid Payton's twitter for a bit, that dude is obsessed with Sour Patch Kids.

Gets crushed on screens and gets crossed up fairly easily. His main defensive advantage so far has been PG's being used to Burke's lack of length then being surprised by Exum's length. He has made some nice defensive plays, but overall his defense has been below average (as expected for his age).

It is funny how fans love their guys and have to bash guys we didn't get. If Gordon was on the Jazz people would be praising him and bashing Exum. I think both guys can be great in a few years.

You took words out of my brain.

Dante's decision making might end up being his best attribute. Watching John Stockton all those years, I was always amazed at his decision making. I see some of that in Dante. He seems so cool under pressure, like the game is in slow motion...and the game hasn't even slowed down for him yet.

I can't say that I've seen Stockton in him yet. But I will never forget how one of the slowest guys on the court (Stockton) could draw a defense in with the game on the line and either pass to an open man, or make room to shoot it over a more athletic player. Still blows my mind to this day.

This seems suspicious. Words, maybe. After that, you lose me.

Agree.

I will never forget the slowest guy on the internet.

Still blows.

Yep.
