His speed is such a weapon.

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't extend Hill, and get a vet to back up or temp start for us next year.
I love Hill, but his price tag and health are a concern.

It might be best to extend or resign Favors over Hill.

Funny to see posts like these now-- I got slammed when I said George is stop-gap option while we assess the long term potential of Dante.

If he keeps putting games like this together, that's essentially what will happen.

True, but i think the only reason he would be only a stop gap option is because he has been too good to be able to afford.

I believe the next part of his development will come as teams start to counter his speed. He will need to make sound decisions and crisp passes when confronted with a clogged up paint.

He will still be able to penetrate, but the level of difficulty of finishing will demand at times he makes defenses pay for collapsing and not only look for his own shot. The good news is he gets to practice with and against a great defensive center.

Just maybe, the Jazz won't have to wish in the future they drafted Marcus Smart.

Dante is actually pretty good at finding the big crashing the basket when he is driving. He really needs to not get off balance and out of position until he knows where he is going with the ball. His biggest mistakes when attacking right now is when he jumps to make a play and tries to throw a desperate pass because he jumped when he had nowhere to go. That is a youth thing though and can be learned.
 
[MENTION=2408]PG_AB[/MENTION] I know you were very impressed with Brandon Ingram's 22 points a few weeks ago. Which is more impressive, his or Exum's?

Let's not forget this game if his next game is a flop. Lets also not forget his next game could be a flop. His trajectory has been upward which is the most important thing.

Guyz, I am not sure if this makes any sense.

I understand it. If he sucks next game let's not freak out about it and we need to realize he isn't going to score 20+ every game going forward. He's made a huge step forward these past few months and that's what is most important.

Can you imagine if Dante ever becomes an Allstar? Seem impossible? Whenever anything seems impossible, just remember that JR Smith is an NBA champion.
 
One of Exum's biggest issues in finishing and perhaps with his handle as well is awful hands. Most of that has to do with when he finishes but he seems to have very little control over the ball, despite having what I assume to be fairly large hands. It's sort of in his hand (not palmed or grasped in a way with firm control at all) just sitting there. It's really awkward.
 
Exum has great hands and handle. His issue is lack of strength which causes him to lose control of balance/handle.
