How did Exum look last night?

Then DL could say "see ya later" because Dante is ready to be the starter.

Not convinced about that TBH. Back up minutes are just fine.

I wouldnt be surprised if you were Andy B tbh. The only two people who cant bring themselves to give the kid any praise.

Andy Bailey? That dude loves Exum.

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

My personal hope is that Rubio is willing to take a bench role in the future.. Dante/Donovan/Exum all play together right now anyway, and that lineup seems to do pretty well.

Are you trying to tell us that Dante plays with himself? What's your source on this?

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

I like that nickname

Kid Flash? That fits Donovan better than Exum. X Factor, or X for short. Can't get much better than that.

With an offensive rating of 127 and a PER of 23.9. Both of which are the best on our team. Although just barely, Gobert is at 124 offensive rating and 20.9 PER.

Exum's PER would be 9th in the NBA if he qualified. Exum's Offensive rating would be #2 in the league.

Those are according to basketball reference. NBA.com are different. Here are the Jazz advanced stats on NBA.com. Exum is leading in just about everything (besides the 1/2 minute of play from Naz)
http://stats.nba.com/players/advanced/?sort=OFF_RATING&dir=-1&Season=2017-18&SeasonType=Regular Season&TeamID=1610612762

NBA.com advanced defensive stats show great things as well.


Those numbers are probably not sustainable but I think it shows how good he has looked in his limited numbers so far.

Since you're using OR and PER as two stats to show the value of a player, it should be noted that Ben Simmons' Offensive Rating of 109.1 is better than Donovan Mitchell's of 106.6. His PER of 19.79 is also better than Mitchell's 16.49.

I love it when we point to historically worst PER ever after Exum's first season some people quickly dismiss it as "PER is useless stat". Yet here we see PER used after few games to tell that Exum is great? There is no question kid looks much better - but the sample is very limited. How about we let him have at least 30-40 games and then talk how good or bad he is.

Yes, he certainly is better at some stats.

I find stats to be very useful. They are just not the entire story always and circumstances are always different.

In this case I am using that stat for people like you. Who say he was the worst in the nba based on that stat, so obviously now he must be the best on the Jazz by your standard. At least in these games so far.

Rofl. Way to change your narrative.

Never has that changed. Please note where I have said one stat is the most meaningful.

Just like in this case, you showed some stats that are positive for Exum and I showed some more stats that were positive for him. I even said I didnt think they were sustainable but showed he is playing pretty well. But I also have thought he has played well before but just inconsistent for a variety of reasons.

Do you think he is not playing well?

Is your best argument for everything ROFL? It is one of your better points.

Man, he just slithers through the defense.

I havent watched many Exum highlight videos lately and maybe it's because of the many Mitchell videos that I have, but Exum looks taller and bigger than I rememer.
