Exum needs to play over Mack

I am okay with slow progress but give him like 10 minutes to try. He needs experience.

I'm all aboard the sit Mack/play Exum train, but one thing I will say, is that Exum does seem to be relying to much on his abolity to recover on defence lately, he gets shaken way too easily, unlike in his first year where he'd just be stuck to guys like glue.
 
The one thing that really frustrates me about Mack is that his footwork defending screens is so sloppy. Other than Kyrie Irving I've never seen a 6'2 guy who's unable to go over a screen. How? HOW? It's not that hard. Outside foot stretched out, make your body describe a circular movement to avoid the pick, jump right back on your inside foot to stay on the ballhandler's hip and catch up from there. It's like a eurostep they practice, just without the ball.

Also his decision making is very inconsistent, but I can live with that. There are enough ballhandlers on the court at all times who can set him up.

I just wish Mack would do less on the court. If you are open, shoot it, but stop all this dribbling around while going nowhere. It rarely ends well for anyone. Like tonight, he got an ISO on Towns and Towns was giving him the 3pt shot. Just take it, instead he dribbles out the clock and kicks it to a completely covered Ingles with 3 seconds left. That is the stuff that really bothers me about Mack.

I just want to see a lineup of Hill/Exum/Hood/Hayward/Gobert

I would also like to see that lineup.

Be honest. If you were trying to balance a half a dozen high-maintenance prostitutes, a wife & kids, and the most scorching coke addiction since Robert Downey Jr. hit Hollywood, you'd play a guy named "Mack" significant minutes too.
 
Something we need to consider - if he's not playing and he's out of the rotation, maybe he'll be better served to spend some time in the D-League. The team is now in SLC and it will be much easier to keep an eye on him. It's much better for him to play now rather than ride the pine for the Jazz...

You forgot disposing of the bodies.
