Dante Exum .. Best case scenario

I think we have to wait for summer league. After summer league it will become obvious what Exum will project out to be for the rest of his NBA career. . .

What? Historically, PGs have made the biggest jump between year two and year three. Everyone was shocked when Deron made a huge jump between year one and two, because it was a "year early."

By the end of Dante's third season, we'll have a good idea as to what we have. He'll likely still have several additional jumps to make, but they'll be minor in comparison to his development over the course of the next two years.

I imagine that at summer league this year, we're going to see quite a bit of the same Dante - only with a more aggressive mindset and inferior competition.
 
Best case: This thread gets closed, and we all move on with our lives only to start very similar threads with annoying regularity.

P.S. Don't put a "best case" ceiling on the kid. He's only 16, he don't have a rep yet.
 
Comps are really difficult. Dante is so unique (this may be a good thing or a bad thing) that it is nearly impossible to put a comp on him.
 
I hate comps, but if we're going there, I still think Penny Hardaway as a ceiling. He's just so timid, raw, and young right now that it is hard to say.
