If you have to reach back to draft combine when he was what, 18 years old, then you deserve to be called silly.

Athletes don’t peak until mid 20’s to early 30’s depending on the sport.

MVP, the fact that you have to reach back to a time when someone was basically a kid, is pretty telling.

Well we comparing his combine stats to other players stats at that age. Are you saying he got more explosive after ACL surgery? I am not 23 year old pro of course but I went through ACL surgery - and I know athletically you will never be the same or better as before the injury, just not possible due to all medical, physiological and physical laws.

And in his rookie year he posted worst stats ever in whole NBA history for a player with that amount of minutes in the first year.

All stats? Or are you just talking about PER? There are plenty of stats he did very well. For example his rookie year he was the best guard at staying in from of his man on defense. On a side note I wish they still did that stat.

Meh, I think he was fine his rookie year and showed a good amount of potential. He didn't get that much playing time and selected to the Rising Stars Challenge(not that that's a huge feat.) because he was awful, that's 100% a fact.

Exum Among Rookies Who Played as Many Minutes
Rank (Out of 295)
Player Efficiency Rating 5.7 295th
True Shooting Percentage .457 284th
Win Shares -0.1 282nd
Assist Percentage 16.6% 97th
Free Throw Attempts 32 295th
Points Per Game 4.8 293rd

Among the 295 rookies who played in the three-point era (starting in 1979-80) and logged at least as many minutes as Exum's 1,817, he was dead last in player efficiency rating. And he didn't fare much better in a number of other metrics.

Yeah, but I know there was no G League back then, but between Ainge and Toolson, it seems like Toolson would be more the guy up your alley.
