Gobert/Exum Summer Pick-Up Highlights

I liked Exums defense on Durant near the beginning.

Durant scores but there is no stopping Durant sometimes. Exum stayed in front of him really well and elevated and made the shot difficult. Against just about anyone else he probably blocks that shot.

Agreed

Exum has much better mechanics than Favors.

Apples and oranges. One thinks he’s a point guard the other is a big man. Why would you compare their shooting form???

My point is that Favors’ shot looked broken when he came to the Jazz but they fixed it. Exum’s shot has always looked awkward and I haven’t seen much improvement.

There are a few examples of NBA players with awkward shooting mechanics being good scorers, but they typically have a natural knack. Exum doesn’t have it.

Exum was one of the best rim finisher last year coming off major surgery.
 
Not that anyone cares, but I'm closer to Cy on the 2:28 Exum miss. Wasn't quite center, but wasn't all that left either. At least as on line as Durrant's 2:04 miss.

You like Buddy Hield, eh?

Is that Hield? I always did like him.

He looks a bit like Donovan in that video. Similar size and similar hair I think. I thought it was Donovan for a second.

Yah, for half a second it flashed in my mind that it was Donovan, but of course Donovan is sexier.

What i took out of the video, at least to what was shown, yes we know Dante can drive and finish, but he hit a few off the dribble jumpers which was cool. Would've been nice if he hit one of those 3's.
 
Give Exum the ball! I want him to be greedy and drive the ball to the hoop more than he did (which had good results when he did it).

I just love that MVP hates Exum so much he’ll go to the trouble of producing diagrams to try to prove he’s no good

Not at all . Take Exum out of it, it could be Stocktons missed shot it does not matter who shot it. I just want to understand what cy means when saying that shot was inline and hit front of the rim when it was clear it hit left side of the rim and was way off center line. I posted this to explain what I saw. Still awaiting Cy’s explanation. Just put your spot where you think ball hit and where you think center of the basket is. I just want to understand what is he hallucinating about.

If you want to use any stat to gauge shooting form, it's FT%. It's the same for everyone. The only variable is the consistency and quality of your release.

*Also, I dont know how what I said about surgery is BS. If you think his shot was ugly before, then having surgery would prevent you from working on your shooting. Shoulder surgery doesnt make your shot better and prevents you from working on it as much as you would want, which was my point you illiterate hack.*

Forget FT. You don’t jump or use your legs during FT. Completely different mechanics and there is tons of good ft shooters who can’t shoot properly from 3 or midrange.
Just to remind you he had surgery on his non shooting shoulder. It should not affect his shooting form at all.
 
There’s really only 3 things from that video
1. Rudy is freaking awesome. Beast
2. Exum has a pull up jumper that looks ok
3 Hield has a beautiful release. Smooth af

That’s all
