Why is that relevant? We're bringing up a personality issue, not a skill issue. A relevant response would be something like "he was plenty aggressive in international competition".

Things are relevant or irrelevant when I say so.

He is still a whelp physically, but he has a good frame. Just the fact that he will fill in should help immensely. It certainly has with Hayward who, at age 24, has finally reached his peak basketball form. I'm OK being patient.
 
A bit more information about the current starting PGs in the league:

Average for their rookie season: 3.45 FTA/36
Median for their rookie season: 3.2 FTA/36

Average for their best* season: 5.17 FTA/36
Median for their best* season: 5.2 FTA/36

Average for the current season: 4.19 FTA/36
Median for the current season: 4.4 FTA/36

*best when it comes to FTA/36
 
I think Exum is playing within coach Quinns system for him. Quinn wants Exum to stay healthy and understand the game and the system before doing more. You dont see or hear the coaching staff wanting Exum to be more aggressive. I think he will bulk up a little next year and be more aggressive. Even towards the end of this season (final third) I think we will see a bit more aggression and letting him play without a leash.
 
Exum gets into the paint at will but you see him pass or pull out and the coaching staff approves.

Stats are not really useful in evaluating Exums case right now.
 
Just think, when exum is twice the age he is now, and we are getting ready to unveil a statue of him and hayward next to the stockton and Malone statues, will anyone be comparing him to Danny green?
