Exum Update

[SoUjazzfan]

I don't understand why you'd give a player you're evaluating for a contract a short leash. It makes no sense to sit him if he is physically able to play and prove his worth. If he plays poorly it may hurt our chances of making the playoff's and getting swept in the first round. Conversely, if he plays well and helps to get into that same situation we know we have a piece going forward. At this point figuring where we will be in the future with Mitchell and Gobert, as well as who will complement their talent is the most important thing. I say give him a chance to sink or swim, on as large of a sample size and as safely as possible.

Dante looked pretty darn good in the summer league and was playing as well as if not better than DM

I knew it wasn't just me ....that has always thought Locke was a Dante doubter.I've not listened to Locke much since he was creaming his jeans over George Hll all year last year.That turned out to be the wrong move. I've had Exum riding out his contract with Utah for awhile just from how Locke reports on Exum.
Jazz are becoming un athletic with all their moves and are going to be starving for points while the rest of the League is scoring more points. Already happening with Crowder and O'Neale getting major minutes.
Doesn't make sense to not use the fresh legs of Exum who has big experience with Utah already and keep a short leash on him AGAIN...just say good-bye to Exum who doesn't deserve a short leash on him anymore.

Ya, making the moves of getting Mitchell and O’Neal last off-season have made us less athletic lol.

Annoying... I'm hoping DL likes Exum more than Locke

Well...DL said losing Exum was as big as losing Rudy, so I think he likes him a lot.

It will be interesting how Quin uses Dante's quick 1st step in his 'advantage offense' system. Surely we see more than Dante sitting in a corner...

You would hope so. That first step and overall speed plus his length is legit.

He's always been able to get to good spots on the floor... his handle and finishing were the struggles. The finishing seemed better in SL and second half last year. It is still awkward looking though.

He's either incredibly unique and develops in a versatile wing/pg or he's just not that good. He may forever remain a mystery.

Yep. I have been an Exum hater for the most part cause he has mostly sucked. He has some elite physical attributes though. Hopefully he becomes good at basketball so he can use them

So turns out Larson is a closet Dante hater.



To bring up how he played his rookie year and pretend like he hasnt improved... Dante never played like this at all last year! He struggled to make open 3s and was dealing with the win-now scenario that had him on a tight leash.

Its funny how everyone can give Crowder/Rubio the benefit of the doubt saying he needs a full offseason to get the playbook down. Yet Exum has only just had his first offseason where he wasnt recovering from injury. Its all so hypocritical.

For one. Dante is 22 and was a raw project, once we signed Hill I never expected Dante to take over fulltime until he has 24-25, thats still 2-3yrs away. How come people can be patient with Rubio/Crowder/Ingles but not Exum...

Baffles me.

I’m impatient with everyone... miss a shot or turn the ball over and I will fake trade your ***.
