Exum`s shooting is actually pretty good

Gobert reminds me of a young Bill Russell.

I agree, although I'd say Rudy is further developed than Russell was at his age. Rudy has a good chance to be better IMO.

All things are Rudy.

Simmons back to taking jabs at Exum on his latest grantland piece:

Dante Exum: Let’s just say that I haven’t asked anyone, “Have you seen the Australian Kobe yet?” lately. The good news: He’s only 19. The bad news: Poor Dante didn’t just hit the rookie wall, he crashed into it at 85 mph and had to be airlifted away from the accident. We have an international basketball junkie and irrational Exum fan working at Grantland named Danny Chau. His latest Exum stance: “Very unhappy with his development, but I will die on this hill.” He’s like Dido in the “White Flag” video.

Here's a Danny Chau article about Exum that appeared just before the draft:

Good to know. I am new around here, so I appreciate the help trying to fit in.

Exum’s been training for the draft since the All-Star break, with no games to conflict with his workouts. If he isn’t the most well-conditioned prospect, he’s close. A month ago, Exum uploaded an Instagram video of his maximal oxygen uptake test, where you get to run on a treadmill and pretend you’re a living, breathing H.R. Giger creation. He’s marketing himself as a player who will be able to get into the lane at will. The league will always need more players of that ilk.

But is he a point guard? Allow Exum to explain: “I’m a get-to-the-rim type of player,” he said at the combine. “I beat my man off the dribble and try to draw help to find open players. I guess that’s what puts me in a good position to be a point guard. Also, to be that kind of vocal leader — I can have that voice to say to players what needs to be done; the voice on the court for the coach.”

"most well-conditioned" and "get-to-the-rim type of player"...
