IMO, everybody should be worried about this pick. But they should also be amped that DL swung for the fences.

Most of this board will probably hate Exum by sometime in his second year.... and I don't really expect that we'll know who he is until after that.

(Smart ate Exum for lunch the last time they played in international competition... we could regret not taking Marcus, but Marcus wasn't a swing for the fences.)

It's funny because I hated the pick and wouldn't have had him in my top 15, but give it a few weeks - his first 23 point game in summer league - I'll be the biggest Exum apologist on the planet. We need to give him at least three years like we did when kids were jumping straight from High School.

Snyder may be the perfect coach to help him develop. He has the size and skillset. If he can become a good shooter, we have a potential superstar.

So easy I'm not even sure we can call it a sport.
 
I'm still pumped about the pick; but, his jump shot scares me to death. He looks like a mix of Gervin and Ronnie Brewer. He said he's been working on redoing his form, let's hope it looks a lot smoother. I can hang my coat on his hitch in those videos. I love his speed, and I hope he can play in control. At this point, I'm just praying he's not a bust.

Yes thats just immature... only BIG-AL has the aristocracy and authority to judge players off of summer league. ONLY BIG-AL is authorized to bear this burden.

I support everything in that statement other than the first thing in brackets. Playing on a bad ankle against Smart isn't fun.

I think you can't look at boxscores. But if you look at particular parts and single out iterations where they happened and see certain things, then there is a possibility that either these skills will translate or the problems will persist if not worked upon.
 
Superstar seems a bit much realistically. I guess anything is possible. He certainly will be fun to watch. As Size said we asked DL to swing for the fences, and he did. Exum was the only guy to take at that pick. I see his ceiling as team star, maybe the talent level of someone like Paul Milsap. Superstar? I just don't think we can even go there yet.

This is from the FIBA U17 Oceania Tournament, I just posted footage of a game vs Egypt on the first page.

THE TITLE ON THIS VIDEO IS INCORRECT - this is the U17 tournament... videos published in 2012.
