Following potential 2015 draftees

My point wasn't that those Lakers' players could lure him. It was that Pelinka obviously has a very strong relationship with the team. That coupled with Exum's pre-draft comments about the Lakers and known affiliation with Kobe should concern fans. At least a little.

Well we don't have to worry about for 7 years if we want to re-sign him, we can.

Or in other words, overpay him.

If he keeps sucking then I won't be concerned if the Lakers get him (ducks head)
:^O

He is still only 19 and didn't play basketball the whole of last year....

Nope, truehoop podcast. Apparently his 12.5% two point shooting is historically very low and is giving scouts concerns (MKG who was considered a poor shooter shot 35% when he was at UK). Top 30 this year the worst is Stein with 29%. So 12.5% is pretty bad.

hummm I wonder who said this same thing a month or 2 back

Spy.

And fwiw, it's important to note the distinction between overall 2-pt % and 2-pt jumpshot %.

If Winslow is sucking this much D at shooting for the rest of the year I would be worried, might just be a small slump, his overall % are still solid.

Yup. Kind of like kanter when he came into the league...... except kanter looked better in his rookie year imo

Kanter looked pretty ****ty, people were just convinced he had potential because no one wanted to face the truth.

Agree to disagree

Yeah but to be honest Kanter plateaued pretty early and hasn't improved THAT much since then. With Exum it's pretty near impossible for him to improve at least 2 folds in a couple of years.

I don't understand your post.

It's possible that exum plateaued in high school. Or in summer league. Or in pre-season. No one knows yet...

It's also possible that kanter will still get better. No one knows.

What we do know is that kanter and exum both came to the jazz from overseas, with alot of hype and with no college experience and both very young. (Kanter was even younger than exum iirc) that is all I was commenting on

Difference between Kanter and Exum is that Kanter still sucks at the same **** he sucked at when he was 17.

Exum sucks at stuff he was really good at, so that suggest he is just having trouble at adjusting to the competition level, which is understandable.

Kanter sucks dick at certain skills at the NBA because that part of his brain doesn't work.
