Give him a n off-season at P3. Yikes! He might be dunking on people at will by then.

I wonder about the effectiveness of P3. I think the week(s) all these guys are there would be much better spent just working on shooting. Year after year, I'm just amazed that the Jazz can't hit anything past 10 ft. They're the worst collection of shooters I've ever seen. And it appears it's due to some kind of contagion. Clark goes from MVP last summer to just another clanker this summer.

The game was **** horrible to watch. A few good plays from Exum, some flashes by Gobert to get the Jazz back in the game. But just putrid offense and shooting otherwise.

Quin has a LOT of work to do. Let's hope he's the development guru Lindsey thinks he is.

Really though, the plays he was making were nice. That video is really impressive. I think Gobert was telling Exum that he should have thrown the ball up to him for an ally pop too.

Or maybe along the lines of "Dude... they're gonna get it down low. Ain't nobody get it but me when it's up high"
 
Were they something like 3 for 28 from 3? lol, wow...that wont happen often..Hood looks so smooth also...he will hit much more often as he moves forward I believe..but yes, tonite was putrid as far as shooting

I think its fair to say this kid has the X factor that none of the other Jazz kids have

Hayward, Favors, Burks, Kanter, Burke.. they are all impressive youngsters and will have long and fine NBA careers

But Dante has superstar potential

Hes the alpha dog that this team needed, but lets not forget hes only 18
 
I have never seen another young player remind me so much of Kobe in his body movements. I don't know if he has quite the hops of Kobe, although he seemed to be just fine in that area today. His defense improved over the game and became quite good. His BBIQ, unselfishness, and court vision are astounding for his age. He was a +9, too.

Needs to improve conditioning, strength, handle, and yes his shooting. He also needs to play with real athletes so that he can adjust his game to his teammates abilities as well, the requested oop from Gobert is an example.

Trey Burke was a selfish ballhog, who held the ball and clogged the offense. The offense felt so much better with Exum. If we could actually hit a wide-open shot, Exum would have had 8 or 9 assists, and he also was the passer before the assist as well. We'll see, but he's got his feet wet.
