Dante Exum everybody!

[Elizah Huge]

So Im not the only one who saw flashes of Kobe when watching Exum?

Also, in respect to you thinking that my account or the hotnick account are alts, well, that's laughable.

No, he definitely reminded me a little of Kobe.

I think Hood will be just fine. He was cold, but has a great stroke from what I saw. Likely nerves and fatigue. At worst, a good shooter off the bench who will spread the floor.

That's more of what I see for him.

I think that he'll be a great shooter from off the bench. Not sure yet if he's going to be a starter or not. Depending on what they do with Burks/Hayward, I could see them chase a starting SF at the trade deadline and then finish the season with Favors, Kanter, new SF, Hayward and Exum with Gobert/Tomic (if he comes over), Novak, Hood, Burks and Burke off the bench.

Oh is that what you took from my post? My bad.

 

[Doublea]

I was pretty surprised by the 8 rebounds he got too.

I can't wait for the day that Exum takes over the starting PG role (whenever that might be) and we end up hearing that Trey's mom goes to the FO to complain

Saw too many passes for me to think Kobe.

Watched the recorded version of the game. The PG/SG debate is moot, IMO - Exum is a lead guard. I.e., he needs the ball in his hands. Trey will not be starting with the Jazz for long.

Made me laugh. Rep worthy.
I think Kobe passed a few times his rookie season.

 

[gregbroncs]

Burke had a -13 plus minus and Exum had a +9 plus minus.

That was the low and the high for the team respectively.

Burke looked like ****. He really did. Bad passes, had the ball taken right out of his hands (inexcusable for a PG playing a level down) and did not move the ball or get into the paint enough.

I hope you are right. I'd be happy to have Trey as a backup.

I see any starting lineup with Trey as a downgrade. I'd take Exum/Burks or Exum Hayward at the 1/2 over Burke/Exum. I think Hayward is actually a better passer than Burke, and he is a good ball handler. That would be a very good back court. I'm guessing Gordon will mostly play the 3 though.

Well, seeing as we don't have another PG on the roster (no, I do not consider JLIII an NBA player), I think Trey sticks as the starting PG until the deadline at least. Also need to evaluate what happens with Burks and Kanter to see what direction Jazz may want to make with a trade. Could definitely see a Burke + #10 for veteran starter deal at draft time.

We are going to see early on how Snyder does with dealing with players. Burke, Burks, Exum, and Hayward probably all see themselves as starters for this team. Only 3 of them max can start though. And that is if Hayward starts at SF. Favors, Kanter, Gobert, Evans and Hood probably all deserve minutes as well. That makes a lot of players fighting for minutes and a headache for the coach with no clear starters in the bunch except probably Hayward and Favors.
