What's new

Dante Exum 22 points!!!

Wow!

That was an encouraging highlight reel. The naysayers almost had me. I almost believed that Exum was a bust. I will never entertain those notions again. Busts can't do the things I just watched Exum do.
 
Anyone else notice that Exum'a s handling before he decides to drive seems to be much improved as well?


I think that's important as it gives him more confident to go for the drive and not lose the ball on the way up.


I think his "weak" handle was overstated... He generally would turn the ball over on bad passes, not steals or losing his handle.

his uncertain dribble with the left hand means he has to use his body to protect the ball more than he should, he doesn't get it stolen much but it makes it much harder for him to keep his eyes on the play while being pressured.


Awesome game tho, an offseason of gaining more core/hip strength as well as the upper body would help so much.

And if he ever gets to be a good shooter to the point he needs to be guarded .. look out
 
Man, his drives still look weak, and he flips up shots from all sorts of weird angles that don't look like they should be able to go in. He should be able to finish through a lot of the fouls he got.

But damn, has he improved from the beginning of the season. Even took that midrange jumper at the end. Going to the rim much more fearlessly even if his frame is not strong enough to finish well yet. Looking forward to next season for exum, with a stronger body and a better shot.
 
When he has a good off-season on building that body, his confidence in driving to the is REALLY going to skyrocket. He is learning his strengths.

Improve his handle
Improve his body
Improve his J

Dante is going to be just fine.
