very arbitrarily selected cutoff point. I bet the choice had nothing to do with trying to support a point.
Small sample on/off numbers are not reliable.
Have you not noticed that in game? It's really horrendous. It's not even like when he does get the ball his defender even really tries to close out on him.
But the numbers support the eye test. When Exum is in the game all I can see is how no on guards him and how much it hurts the offense.
Oh don't get me wrong - he does have his warts and his inability to take advantage of the space he's given is one of them, but I don't think he's as bad as this small sample suggests. I actually thought he was making strides of sort offensively when he was given a chance.
He is, but they are just individual offensive things he is doing, like a few cool/nifty moves. They don't really change how anyone guards him (or doesnt guard him).
Like I said, Exum is at a completely different point in his development. He still has to learn how to play basketball and be effective. Everyone else knows how to play and make themselves weapons, it's just a matter of fine tuning and being consistent. With Exum out there it just slows everyone else down and kind of kills the teams ability to develop as a unit. It just sucks last year Exum got injured and he missed our last year we could really focus on development and not wins. I hope Quin finds minutes for him, but I'm not going to be overly upset as long as we are winning.
