They ignore efficiency. If Donovan was the worst efficient player in the league most people would say Donovan is playing good.

I don't have to look for it.
Shouldn't you want your players to be successful

Yes, and I do. Very much.
Doesn't mean my eyes don't work.
I hope more than anything that Exum goes on to win 3 straight MVPs
C'mon your lying through your teeth

You really think I'm not rooting for a Jazz player to do well?
Please explain why that makes any sense for me.
Cause U and many other always look only look for negatives

No, we look at things realistically. There just happens to be way more negative than positive in Exum's career so far, do you disagree?
I think my behavior on this forum is pretty consistently 'realist with a twist of homer-optimism.'

Even with JV they blew Sixers twice and JV scored 20+pts on Embiid both times. Now with Gasol it got even worse.

One of those came before Butler got there so I wouldn't really count that one, and the Sixers looked much much better when they played at home in their win vs the Raptors 2nd win at home when Butler was there. I just wasn't convinced that the Raptors were decisively better in a 7 game series vs the Sixers on a matchup basis, but even with the Sixers getting Harris I think the Raptors getting Gasol is more important in that potential matchup that I'd give the Raptors a clear advantage now considering the Sixers have little depth.

With just a hint of 'I just started college and am smarter than everyone else.'
I think a lot of negative goes towards Snyder valuing older vets that last only a year with the Jazz over putting Exum out there to learn from his mistakes and playing through them. I got sick and tired of watching the limitations of Shane Mack (obviously every team he plays for does too) and watching the short, slow Raul Neto playing Mack's role now. George Hill is gone and look how fast he's gone downhill. Now Rubio put up for trade with the Jazz ready to move on. Exum is still in Utah where management turned all inquiries away during the trade deadline. Time to play him ,Jazz are running out of excuses in starting the Exum /Mitchell era.

I actually just graduated college. But if you’re looking for honestly: yea, I definitely feel like I know more about the NBA than the average poster here. Definitely not the most though. There are dudes way smarter than me that post here.
@Jazz isnt one of them though.
found the stats for last season... Jazz vs East = 14-16 and vs west 34-18
I think claiming Jazz are a 60+ win team in the East is a bit far fetched even with excuses like travel/schedule.
I think depends on what expectations you personally placed him, he was a high pick so people are entitled to be disappointed in his achievements to date. Then again if you look at how raw he was when drafted and some of the things he has shown at times, you might be happy with the player he currently is and the positive impact he can produce, especially on defense.
For mine he is about where he should be given limited time due to injuries. I'm still excited for the future, the game he started prior to his injury was awesome with his ability to link with Rudy, noting it was against a terrible opponent.
