benchmark
Yes, it would be unfair to say Dante will become Magic or something idiotic like that. But nobody is saying that as you seem to imply.
The point of my post is to benchmark against the best, and in the case of large PG and BBall IQ, the best was Magic. Would it be a bad thing for Dante to aspire to this sort of greatness?
Magic also was phenomenal at pushing the ball up the floor and finding scorers on the break, where I think Exum has potential as well as great speed.

I think we agree
So you are saying that Magic hypothetically could have been a great outside shooter if he had hypothetically practiced outside shooting. I agree with that! (seriously).
Outside the hypothetical and back into the real world, he did not work to perfect his outside shooting (until last few years) and was not a great shooter for most of his career.
Maybe we can end on that agreement?

I'm shocked the Devin Harris comp isn't really thrown around anywhere
this is off subject a little, but I have never and will never by the Magic is the greatest pg to play in the nba.
Stockton is the greatest in my opinion. The numbers alone make this argument in my opinion. I also take into account the fact that Magic is around 7-8 inches taller then Stockton and played on one of the iconic most talent laden teams of all time (show time ). Think of it this way. Stockton through his career put up mind numbing insain stats, and was a great shooter and as clutch as they come. Without looking at his stats he probably had 5-6 years in a row where his stats were better then the two MVP seasons Nash had, and had he and Malone had not run into MJ in the finals, it's possible he should've could've had two chips. But my favorite arguement is this... Put Stockton on the same Lakers team Magic played on, and then think of the numbers he'd have put up. There wasn't a better player at dominating a game without scoring. Pound for pound the toughest to ever play the game!
Sorry couldn't hold my peace.
I will never except that Magic was better. Taller, yes. It also didn't hurt that he played for one of the all time great teams.

Wait, did fabtrey really say Magic never got better at hops (hops as in jumping ability?) because he didn't have to? Sorry, I don't want to sift through his entire post to find it.

So Exum is a combination of Harris, Barbosa, Jordon, Kobe, Wall, Magic, Parker....
Sounds good to me
