Dante Exum Averages .2 Steals Per Game

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Your crystal ball tell you that? Honestly dude how tf would you know. So what? Just run out the same garbage over and over? Quin did this same **** with Mack in the playoffs.

Mack was way better than Exum.

The Jazz righted the ship last year by not tinkering and staying patient.

Which is a lot easier to do after losing an all-star and expectations are at or around zero.

Plus past performance does not guarantee future results - especially after the rest of the conference gets better and you're all #teamiseverything.

Let's just pretend Rubio is injured. Along with Donovan(assuming he misses this game).

Sure, but I don't think anyone on Utah has job security issues. They are going to do what worked last year, partly because the alternatives don't have a higher upside, until players become trade eligible.

It was a pretty two points though.

It was his typical, uncoordinated ballerina like ugly jump hook/floater some kind of only Exum can do heave at the basket.

I get why they signed him to that deal. 11 million isnt outrageous. It's a tradeable contract. He did about as good a job on Harden as I've ever seen in the playoffs.

And yet he got eviscerated by Raymond Felton in the playoffs.

I don't think Dante is a very good defender at all. He's very good at looking the part of a defender, which fools fans. Really this year's Memphis game was the only game i felt like his defense was impactful (and it was impactful that game).

I mean, if you trust bbref, your opinion may have some validity.

I'm assuming his advanced defensive stats take a huge hit because of his steal rate.

I think he's doing what coach wants. His job is to come in and guard the opposing teams "fast" guy. Disrupt their flow and be a pest. For the most part he does that with regularity. I'm fine with where he's at and the potential to be more.

But defense sucks when he is on the floor. Hi DRPM is 73rd out of 80 point guards. But hey, he is slightly above trey burke

 

[silesian]

I'm so tired of people crying about Exum. Using an obscure stat to "prove" his lack of value. Did y'all watch the last Memphis game? Exum simply stayed in front of Conley and played excellent defense.

I would like for him to have more than .2 steals in his less than 20mpg. But are we really going to judge him completely on that? Crowder has a rep as a defender, but if he only gets .2 blocks per game he sucks?

Some of y'all reach so bad to find a way to bash somebody. Our FO just spent money on Exum. Jump on board or shut up.

He is bottom tier in every advanced defensive stat that I have seen. Jazz defense when Exum is on the floor is terrible

Well yeah he has 4 steals and 3 blocks in 330 minutes. He also has 9 deflections, 5 loose balls recovered, and 1 charge drawn (last game, trending UP!). Athletic freak Georges Niang has 9 deflections and 5 loose balls recovered in 119 minutes.

Down 25 in each 1st qtr. No changes.
