Dante has been out forever because he ded

[Quin's Murderface]

From June. You think Dante has done anything since that would significantly alter this projection?

played with the ball in his hands for the first prolonged stretch of his career?

Remind me how Ricky earned his minutes again??

Also, Dante has outplayed Rubio for the majority of the year.

How can you ever have a rational conversation with Exum stans when this is their mindset?

Majority of the year might be an exaggeration but its pretty even and Rubio has never had to earn his minutes so Im not sure why it comes back to that.

I'm far from a Dante fan but I do often question what Rubio does to earn his minutes.

Thankyou.

Apparently seeing Rubios limitations and wanting Dante to one day be be given the same opportunity as Hill, Mack and Ricky makes me a one eyed Dante homer.

I mean if this is a conversation about Mitchell starting at PG and Rubio getting a reduced role, I'll hear it.

But what on Earth has Exum done to deserve those Rubio minutes?? That's ridiculous. He was atrocious the majority of the year besides a couple weeks right before the injury.

Rubio got a triple double in a playoff game, and was a catalyst for our run last year. Rubio did more in our 35 game stretch last year than Exum has done in his entire career. He's the incumbent, and Exum hasn't come close to unseating him.

Exum has played 3,917 minutes for the Jazz, 59th most in franchise history. He's played more minutes for the Jazz than Rubio has.

Only 20 players in the history of the league have played more minutes than Exum and put up a lower PER than he has.

And you say the Jazz have not given him an "opportunity".

 

[elan_prodigy]

Exum has played 3,917 minutes for the Jazz, 59th most in franchise history. He's played more minutes for the Jazz than Rubio has.

The opportunity is to run the offense, not to stand in the corner.

That'll probably not be true in about 4 games.

Wish Dante were back for GS.

Exum was pretty good in the first 8 - 10 games or so, he closed some games over Rubio in that stretch too before completely ******** the bed for most of November and the start of December. I'd say it's been 30/40/30 for good exum/garbage exum/injured exum on the season so far percentage wise, but you're right in saying that he's done nothing to suggest unseating Rubio. He's only just starting to figure out how to excel in his bench role, he has no business getting a starting spot right now.
