I can't see the image, but I feel Maker is 1.5" taller than Skal.
And more athletic. And a better handle.
Skal has an UNREAL shot.
Maker is sooooooooooo mother f'n underrated, imo. More than anyone I've ever seen, ever.
Exum has handles, IDK what people are talking about. He is a 6'6 PG, he has great handles for his size. People will see soon enough.
Great handles doesnt have to be doing insane combo moves and being flashy. It's just keeping a low dribble and being able to change speeds with the ball and protecting it while driving. Exum has that, trust.

An whoever says "that isnt handle, its just speed" being able to keep control of a dribble while going fast is one of the biggest parts of having a good handle.

Ummmm, u may not know what a crossover is. Lol. I just watched his rookie highlights. They were scattered throughout the highlights.

The guy defending him is straight up ***, That is the reason why Dante has no crossover, at his level of competition he was always bigger and faster than everyone and could get around them at will, like he did to that guy. It is also the reason why he struggles offensively; he is just not THAT much better than everyone around him for the first time in his life. He will need a crossover at some point to get by decent to good NBA defenders, and he will need to get better with his off hand. At this point I am not extremely worried.
Elijah Millsap can defend at a NBA level.

Go to YouTube and type in Dante Exum and Matthew Dellavedova in the rising stars challenge. U will see him absolutely break someone's ankles with a nasty as hell crossover. He can do it. He just wasn't aggressive.

I'd post the video but don't know how.

Yeah, its where, off the dribble you can force the defender to lean one way, then immediately take the ball the other direction, generally by switching hands on the dribble. I watched Deron Williams play, I know how it is supposed to be done. Exum will use his speed to force a backpedal, and when the defender stops, he will then dribble around the defender, generally with his dominant hand. It is cool, but there are nba players that won't let you do that.
