Exum states that he absolutely feels more comfortable at the point...

There are quite a few Jazz players that need to be more consistent, not just Exum.

I remember in X's rookie year where he absolutely kicked sand in DWill's face. He made DWill look like a broken down old man. That's what we saw from him on Monday.

This is funny, because what I saw was that when Exum got the opportunity, he played pretty well, especially in the 2nd half of the season. I don't have a problem with playing Mack, other than his leash is too long, because Mack helped win games when playing well. However, I thought playing Neto over Exum was just plain dumb.

As for the Exum fan boys, you guys need to stop with all this. Utah wouldn't have just had the success they had this season with Exum thrown to the wolves and no George Hill. In that case, we might as well have just packed Hayward's bags for him and bought his ticket out of town.

And if you guys care about what's best for the team, having to match some ridiculous offer for Dante next year would cripple the team financially. The best move for the team, without a doubt, is to bring back Hill and develop Dante slowly for one more year.

I will say this, Dante should be the backup PG next year with no question. If they bring back Mack, they may as well trade Dante, which would be dumb.

So glad to hear it.

I hope this sends a message to the Jazz. Quit drooling over Mack. Think twice before signing Hill to mega bucks long term deal. And stop with this bs of playing Dante off the ball.

You drafted the kid at 5. The kid has something almost no one on the roster has. An elite trait.

Name the Jazz players with an elite trait? And name their elite trait. (e.g. Gobert - rim protection)


Exum could be franchise altering. I worry Q can't see it.

Bringing back Hayward, Hill and Ingles (and especially Mack) might just mean never taking the chances needed on Exum.

That's great. I just wish I were more comfortable with him playing PG, because he hasn't been good.
 
Considering we did draft Dante #5 overall and we all see potential in him, the best option might be to bring in a cheaper vet like D-Will to back up Dante, and if he doesn't play well then obviously the vet can start. I know this has obviously been discussed at length in other threads, but to me this is the best option. Hill was good for us this year, but he is aging and won't take us over the top in the West. Dante is our best chance at contending in 2-3 years.

Having to match a huge contract on Dante next year would cripple the team financially. If you really want to contend in a few years, you need Dante on a reasonable contract, otherwise the team will be forced to dump guys they want to keep. Bringing back Hill and having Dante as the primary backup is the best plan.
 
He might feel more comfortable when he's at the point, but I'm feeling more comfortable when he isn't. His handle is just not up to par for the position. He coughs it up any time he faces pressure with the ball. This to me is the no. 1 thing he needs to work on this summer if he wants to be a PG in the league, because his current handle is not NBA PG-level.

I think this why I think he needs to go to SL and just play the point. It sounds like he does not want to go to SL. I think the Jazz and him are at an impasse. Perhaps they can trade him to OKC.
