Dante Exum Averages .2 Steals Per Game

Dante will have made nearly $50M by the end of his extension. I'm curious to know who the highest paid NBA "bust" is, and how close is Exum to approaching that? It may end up to be the biggest accomplishment of his career.

I think his best case is Tony Allen. He has to find his dog and just commit to defense 100% while working on his shot. Stop trying to be a PG.

Wow, you really have high hopes for him. T. Allen was one of the best perimeter defenders, a true pest so annoying that nobody wanted to play vs him. I have not seen anything in Exum showing he can embrace that role and be like T.Allen.

Judging by the earnings of the most obvious busts, Dante is up there on the pedestal guys...
Kwame Brown - $64M
Darko Milicic - $52M
Greg Oden - $24M
Adam Morrison - $17M
Hasheem Thabeet - $17M
Jimmer Fredette - $9M

I said busts... he was picked 38th... and He averaged 15/5/3 over a four season span on good shooting....

Exum was picked 5th and has never ever even come close to parsons.

Parson wasn't a bust, but he is one of the worst values of all time.

Exum is like spending $10 on a Big Mac. Parsons is like spending $100 on an Applebee's hamburger. I'll spend $10 on a Big Mac all day long.

Definitely now. When he signed that deal he was a promising young player with pretty good production. His albatross contract now is a different discussion.

Case is, Exum got his 33M deal while averaging about 6/2/2 on putrid shooting. And has regressed to become even worse so far this season. And he was highly touted, picked with a high lottery pick, and barring a miraculous turn-around, is definitely a bust at this point.

He could make one of the highest salaries ever for a player who has never amounted to anything, ever in his career. Brown/Darko levels of salary cost and disappointment.
