Exum's Second NBA Game

I don't see him as a Kobe or Jordan.

Jordan had a 48 inch vertical jump.

Kobe had a 38 inch vertical.

Kobe has a great fade away shot. I haven't seen any videos of Exum with a strong fade away jump shot.

I see Exum as more of a tall Tony Parker. Quick first step and great finisher around the basket. A little bit of Parker's game and a little bit of Ginobili's game. Guys who great at going through traffic. Exum isn't a high flyer. He is crafty and quick.

Exum only had a 34.5 vertical. Which is the exact same as Hayward's.

Don't put these unrealistic expectations on the kid. He has a long way to go and needs to get stronger. But I think he will be effective his first year. but I think a tall Tony Parker is a better comparison then Kobe or Jordan.

Exum is the Jit!!!


If he played in college this year he would be the consensus #1 pick!!!

Agree, Even IF EXum becomes a GREAT player, he is still incredibly raw.We need to be patient. Even the great Kobe Bryant had two pretty unspectacular seasons to start his career, averaging 7.6 and then 15.4 pts/per - and he wasn't having to run the offense.

Exum is going to struggle - a LOT - as a rookie. But we'll see glimpses of his incredible speed. And he's in the hands of a coaching staff dedicated to player development. I think we drafted a couple of players that have a good chance of sticking with the Jazz for a LONG time.

I agree. His first couple of seasons his overall numbers don't really bother me. I just want to see glimpses of greatness in him, and the occasional 20/10/5 game or so.

jordans legs were never skinny. Give the kid a fair shot. Or else you will be 1 who builds him up to tear him down.

How anyone can think I was serious is beyond me. Dude! It's Air Jordan!

There will never be another Jordan. Did you watch the video? Crazy *** ****. I watched several games of his that year on T.V. and in person...and throughout his career. I was lucky to be in the 10th row right in the corner where he made the shot over Russel in game 6, 1998. So amazing to witness Jordan's career...almost makes me feel better about being old...almost. The funniest thing was Rodman celebrating in front of us by tearing his shirt off and then getting a 44oz. big gulp thrown at him by a dude in the second row. ****ing awesome.

I bet it will take Exum at least one season, probably two to get comfortable, just as Kobe did. Could he become Kobe-like? I think he has the right make-up.
