Me too.
I do like Burke a lot, but if I'm completely honest with myself, that's the lineup I would like to see long term. Burke is a good shooter and a leader, but so is Hood.
Gun to your head - Which draft class would you rather have?
- Thread starter Hotdog
- Start date

Whatever.
There was a ton of discussion about where exum would be played (pg or sg) when we drafted him and before we drafted him.
Stick to your guns though no matter what ok

Please Nickkk. Just stop. Half the time Ford doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, and I've heard more say he's more a combo.
Completely agree with fish
Kkk, you need to start talking about things you know, but then that would leave you obsolete.

DL and Co. are putting on a brave face right now saying Burke and Exum can play together - who really knows what they really think will happen long term.
BTW - in a video on NBA.com, Lindsey says to Exum pretty bluntly before the press conference "We'll either get John (Stockton) to come down or get Dante to go, we like to get our PGs to spend time with him".
Only time will tell.
LOL.. so you're questioning Ford now? What are your credentials again?

I am with you kkk. I have heard way more that he is PG than a combo guard. Weird there is even an argument about this. Time will tell though.

I guess you guys will just have to watch the summer league game tonight and see if he starts at sg, starts at pg, or comes of the bench at pg.
My guess? He starts at sg.
All this.

Fwiw
I think exum is more of a point guard than shooting guard and i hope he plays point guard mostly.
But to act as if there is no question that he has a clearly defined role as a point guard, after all the discussion about what position he will play and how he will be used, is pretty dumb.
Trey burke is obviously strictly a point guard and 100 percent of his minutes will be there.
Alec burks is strictly a sg and 95 of his minuted will be there.
Gobert is strictly a center and 100 percent of his minures will be there
Exum is a combo guard (more of a point though) and no one knows how his minutes will be divided among the 2 positions.

I would even take it a step further..
He IS a SG, period.. that most scouts believe can easily learn the PG spot and become extremely good at it.
right now, a SG though.

Isn't he the starting PG for his national team? I agree that he has a lot of work to do before he assumes that role full time in the NBA, but everything that is out there that I have read on him says he will play PG in the league. No expert on him so very well could be wrong, but would love a legit 6-6 PG running our team for the next 10 plus years.
