Exum wants to be that guy at the end of games. (Article)

God you’re an idiot.

13 had nothing to do with injury. He was going to play college ball in the states, then heard he was projected to be a high lotto pick, so he ended up not playing.

14. He basically came out as a high schooler with taking a year off as well. If you thought he was going to do much of anything, you were fooling yourself. He had a better rookie year then Jermaine O’Neal, on par with TMac, and Kobe, and started more then both. He was extremely young and raw and not ready to play in the nba

15 was a freak injury, none contact

16 he played 66 games, missed 16, 9 were DNPCD’s. So technically there were only 7 games he wasn’t available for.

17 A dumbass decided to jump on his head for no damn reason. It was unavoidable and bad luck, was reported to miss the season, but made it all the way back and showed some of that upside.

All you are is a hater. Maybe you should root for another team. Idiot

This may be the best example of ignoring reality that I have ever read on this board.

Not sure what you are smoking. Exum had the worst rookie season in NBA history, surpassing Austin Rivers' rookie season in numbers and efficiency, with at least average of over 20 minutes per game.
 
I like the attitude, and hope he has a chance to prove himself.

Nobody last year wanted Rubio to take the shot at the end of the game, and I really believe that the shot he took to win the game against the Raptors increased his confidence tenfold (not that that's a hot take, but still). Hopefully Exum gets his shot like that.

Aren’t you the idiot that said if the jazz draft Exum you’d stop posting, and go away? I’m still waiting for you to keep your word.

You must be mental... or quite dumb. The point isn't that Tomic played overseas, it's the fact that everyone posted about him year after year after year and he mounted to nothing. That's where we're at with Exum.... he's going to get 'better' year after year after year.... and has mounted to nothing thus far
 
I've been getting this ad at the bottom of JF page.

I mean, it wasn't a smart comparison either.

Basically you are comparing two opposite players who we discussed for very different reasons. One was a established center and one of the best players in Europe that each year we wondered ad nauseam whether or not he was coming over. He never played a single minute here. On the other hand, the other is a young talent that we drafted for his potential and that, sure, we are still waiting for it to be fulfilled.

You know what comparison could 've been more appropriate? CJ Miles. Yeah, him. Each year was his year until we realized he sucked. It took him 7-8 years to be decent. Exum is different. At least he is an elite defender who can get to the rim at will, plus he offers decent playmaking and on-court chemistry with key players. If he develops into a sixth man/fringe starter then I'm a happy camper.

I feel the same way. Exum will never be "the man" or any such nonsense. But if he stays healthy, he isn't bad. He could become a decent player who can defend well and give you enough on the offensive end. An 11m a year kind of player.

Remember when people were quoting all kind of stats to show Trey Burke was clutch, just cuz he managed to hit a few game winners?

I'm more concerned about how Dante plays game after game for hopefully 80 games and 20 mins/per. Has he shown "flashes?" Certainly. But so have hundreds of others in summer league and preseason games. Hundreds that then have nice careers in the GLeague or Europe or some other foreign league. Dante has not shown - CONSISTENTLY - that he can be a rotation player in the NBA. But he has that potential. He has size and speed. Those two things can't be taught. Will he learn how to shoot? Will he be able to drive and dish? Can he finish at the rim? Color me cautiously optimistic.
