I thought that E-X-U-M didn't spell bust but I'm starting to worry that I may have been wrong. Kid looks like he belongs in the WNBA.

@BillSimmons now known as the "Wiggins draft". Though Parker, Nurkic, maybe Exum have star potential. And a few others perhaps.

Some people still see potential in him.

I see potential in him, but there is a long, tough road in between him realizing that potential right now.

Thorpe also saw a lot of potential in Fesenko... No one is 100% in guessing this stuff. So much depends on work ethic.
 
you guys are all funny. a couple things about the exum debate

1st - grass is always green on the other side of the fence.

2nd - QS runs a system that does NOT use a traditional pg. Russell and mudiay can play along side exum or he with them.

3rd - exum has an off season coming. what he does this off season will mean a lot for his future. he needs to bulk up a bit and work on his core strength. nothing he is doing can't be corrected.

4th - exum is 19 won't even be 20 until July.

Yea, maybe he'll turn out okay. But people acting like it's impossible for a top 5 pick to bust are equally delusional as those giving up on him already.

1st-No it isn't. Bunch of homers in here.

2nd-No way do I play Exum ahead of Burks right now.

3rd-He better spend it shootin whiskey, poppin roids, and learning how to walk without looking like a 9 year old girl in a meadow. Cereal there is no man in that kid.

4th-k

He is young, but so are Mudiay (almost 19) and Russell (just turned 19) and both are further along in their development. There have been other young guys in the league, but some of the issues with Exum (like his lack of free throws) are alarming.

He is already a good defender and is using his quickness well on that end of the court. His 3 point shooting is better than I thought it would be. I just really worry about his ability to create... I am by no means writing him off, but some of the issues are a bit alarming when you compare them with other 19 year olds that have come into the league.
 
Our 2015 pick + Exum for Mudiay or Russell... who says no?
 
Also, if Exum comes in next year and doesn't show significant progress he loses much of his trade value as the top 5 shine will have worn off.

I'd look long and hard at it... not sure if I'd do it just yet though.

This is good to hear... You seem level headed.

I'm not quite on the ledge, just trying to see where people are at on this question.
