Exum having no place in the rotation and Jazz making playoff push

[Getting Traded]

Stuck in a system where he has to shoot 3 pters and can't make them. Exum has taken 83 (3pter's) out of 185 shots for a whopping 45% of his shots this year This from a kid with a lightening 1st step.We've seen Snyder scold Exum and put him on DNP's for "looking" for his shot instead of taking the wide open 3's .Creativity stifled.

Compare this to other young PG's with lightening 1st steps. Elfrid Payton has taken 114 (3pter's) out of 576 shots for only 20 % of his shots.
Emmanual Mudiay has taken 155 (3 pters) out of 470 shots for 30%.
Denis Schoeder has taken 175 (3 pter's) out of 727 shots for 24%

These other young PG's get to play to their strengths.Exum with just as electric of a 1st step as Payton,Mudiay,and Schroeder doesn't .Shoot 3's or sit for Exum.

With the trade deadline approaching WHY wouldn't Exum be eyeballing these teams that could use a young PG .A fresh start as his body gets truly over the ACL.A fresh start than all the yanking around he gets from Coach Snyder .You can visibly see he wants to go at the other young players who ARE playing opposite him,theirs no look of fear there.
It was said Snyder is a great coach of young talent ,but have we seen it .I think Snyder's great coaching is more a product of Rudy Gobert ending up in Utah.Gobert looks like he'd make any NBA head coach look "Great".

So why wouldn't Exum look at Brooklyn,Philadelphia,Chicago,Milwaukee,Sacramento,Dallas ,New Orleans,or Denver as a potential spot where he can play. It's obvious that Snyder has hooked up his playoff hopes on the backs of older players .

Just wonder if Exum says anything before the trade deadline as he saw how Kanter got out of his situation in Utah.

Right now, Dante is not as good as those three. Did you see the game where he was matched up with Payton? Dante is not ready and part of that has to do with his injury. Maybe next year. Time will tell.

Dante's been the worst defensive backup PG, and it's not really that close.

I knew putting a Exum post was going to be close to 2/3 anti Exum to 1/3 still believe he can and will help the Jazz .But this is kinda of my point,with the trade deadline coming up fast Exum has to look out for himself 1st financially.If he's continuously in Snyders doghouse and everyone wants GHill to be signed for 3/4 yrs what's his incentive to want to play in Utah? Almost every team in the NBA is scoring more points and the best teams score the most points.Only Jazz play defense as the way to win and the next two best teams holding teams down in points (Memphis and San Antonio) beat Utah at it's own game.
Exum is getting a lot healthier and getting less and less minutes,he's got to be looking at the possibility that his game is more open court as the League is trending than what's happening to him in Utah.

Dante may or may not work out I just don't think the time has come to know one way or the other. I think Dante asking for a way out would hurt him more than just working hard now and improving on his deficiencies in the offseason with good health.

 

[zbone]

Dante has shown very little comparing to Kanter so I wouldn't be too concerned about him pulling Kanter.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

Exum is intelligent enough to know that he's not performing well enough to demand floor time. I don't see him making any poor taste demands using the media.

I hope the Jazz don't trade him. I hope his balls eventually drop and that he learns to do exactly what the coaches are asking him to do. You know, like any professional.

I don't care if there is a "better fit" out there for him. He is getting paid to implement a game plan that serves the better players on the squad, and he should relish the opportunity. It is one of the rarest in the world.

All this pandering by fans for him to get better treatment and more opportunities than he's already getting is so weak. I'm hopeful that Dante has more manhood in him than he's given credit for in the OP.

Reading this post is like reading a schizophrenic's journal.

Fact is, you won't change anyone's opinion in a forum... Those who have given up on Dante will only see the bad and those who believe in him with think he's hard done by. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Dante won't be looking to exit IMO. I think he's made of better stuff than most people around here give him credit for.

What really puzzles me is the decisive judgements being made while he is coming off an ACL...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Peace out.

Exum is man wang. There I have said it. I said it for burke and now ive said it for exum. Dante is garbage

 

[gregbroncs]

No lets stick our head in the ground ........I brought up Exum shooting 45% of ALL his shots from 3 pt territory whereas 3 other young PG's of similar age shooting only 25% of their shots from 3 pt land.IF you watch the games you know Exum isn't going to be successful shooting half his shots from 3. Again why would he want to lose money playing behind GHill for 3 or 4 yrs if Hill is signed and he has to sacrifice his explosive 1st step to stand around at the 3 pt line shooting 3's he can't make.

I'm pretty sure Exum would be playing if his defense was up to par. He was far better as a defender as a rookie than he is now. I have no idea why. His defense, not his offense is keeping him off of the floor. His defense not his offense won him the job as a rookie. I don't know if it's a result of his knee injury or his confidence in the knee but simply put his defense has been unacceptable this season.

Keep in mind I was one of his biggest defenders, and I still have high hopes for him. But his defense must get better if he wants to play. Frankly Neto and Burks have both been better defensively than Exum this year.
