Wut? Arroyo was better passer, much better handles and dribbling, much better mid range shooter, 3 pt shooter, FT shooter. Arroyo was not as good at finishing at the rim though. And the biggest difference, Arroyo was true PG who knew how to run the offense.
Just a reminder how Carlos and his Puerto Rico team crushed USA "dream team" ( James, Iverson, Wade, etc) in 2004. Really you guys need to re-evaluate your understanding about basketball.

The guy was the slowest NBA player I've seen. MVP really does need his head checked. He might find a marble rolling around

Their assists are close (Exum has a substantially lower usage rate, so his assist numbers are much higher when the ball is in his hand).

That is not true. Arroyo has better AST% and more AST per 100 possessions. Substantially lower usage rate eh? 23.7% vs 21.4% is not substantial at all. Exum is not better rebounder either despite being much longer. Reb% and Reb per 100 possessions - Arroyo is better as well. I hate when people pull ridiculous false statements. Numbers tell the truth. And I am only looking at 2003-2004 season for Arroyo vs Exum's best season. If we would look into career averages it would be much uglier.

Arroyo fans always point back to the USA game, lol. .

How about you watch his highlights vs Wolves then. Just refresh your memory a bit. And then ask yourself if you ever seen Exum do anything close to it. ( Arroyo made more mid range jumpers in this game then Exum in his all career)

What I really loved about Arroyo was watching him pound the hell out of the ball. More than a few times, one felt like shouting..."PASS THE DAMN BALL!"

Have the twolves made the playoffs since that team? I don’t think they have.

Last year? Remember the joke "Rubio got his first playoff win before the Timberwolves"?

Last year? That’s it, right? And even then they were out of it so fast that I even forgot they had made it.

And if you look at that offense, even 15 years ago it looks so much more fun then what are we running now.

I’m... not a huge fan of our 3 ball chucking.

It’s better than the old Oklahoma City offense where Russell and Kevin would take turns going 1 on 5.

But I’m a huge proponent of getting good 2s. Much higher percentage than constantly chucking 3s. On crowder’s 5th straight 3 point miss in 3 mins I want to tell Snyder that there’s a reason why teams are leaving our guys wide open around the perimeter.

But maybe I’m just too old school.
