How did Exum look last night?

The main reason I haven't lost hope in him is because the Jazz haven't. Houdini can't get off the bench, even when we could use his skill set. They are still bringing Dante along, giving him more minutes, and coaching him up. And, to be objective, he is rewarding the patience. Look at the impact he had on this game when he came in. We were playing like c*** and were down by 6. He had a piece of every play that put us up by 5. Small sample though it is, it is something. The bigger evidence is that they put him in and are still trying to develop his skill set.

He is not spida, and maybe we have been spoiled by learning curve that kid has. With all the set backs Dante has had, if the coaches are still hopeful, I will be too. That said, the comparison Q used was Neto, not Mitchell, when he said to not expect too much, too soon.

That was totally nuts. Had to watch it a few times and it looked like it was sped up. Crazy burst. As I said, he might be the fastest player in the NBA.

It’s deceptive though because it doesn’t look like he’s sprinting ever.

Like when I sprint you can tell that is as fast as I can go... he looks like he’s gliding and has another gear (I don’t think he does... just looks like it).

His finishing looks so much better and he actually has showed some decent touch. I don’t think he’s a Roberson level non-shooter. Biggest thing for improvement is still just his ball handling... still kinda sloppy imo.
 
If Dante can consistently play like he did against the Warriors for us the rest of this season than we have a completely upgraded bench team. That's a dangerous addition to our playoff hopes and I'm not even a huge fan of the guy.

It's nice to see that he is getting more comfortable out there and we have the rest of the regular season to get him tuned up and dialed in.

Most importantly we have another wrench to throw at Dame and McCollum. Four strong defensive guards capable of different looks is something that not a lot of teams have.

I like his decisive passes, seems like he saw play developing before it happen, that is good skill.... I am not sure I will ever get used to his ballet layups. Just looks awkward and feminine to me, just so weird. Oh well, does not need to be pretty as long as it goes in.

So your only problem with him and the reason you dislike him so much is you think his movement looks feminine?

I have no idea why that matters.

I don't dislike him ( His lack of mid range game and ugly jumper has nothing to do with how he moves BTW). I just think he was way overrated before draft and came with too many unreasonable expectations. Had he been drafted at 20-30 range nobody here would complain about him at all. Now he has higher measuring stick as 5th pick and he is not living up to those expectations so far.

What he needs to add is some breaks. He needs to learn to blow by his guy and then get in position and slow down. He misses most his layups because he is going full speed at the rim. It's hard to finish like that. Burks, Royce and even Mitchell have that problem as well at times. Mitchell is learning and doesn't always do it. Burks never learned. I have no idea about Royce.
