Hmmm. Dante just came back!(directed at Locke) You would think our number 5 draft pick who has impressed recently not only stats-wise but with the eye-test would be given the benefit of the doubt for at least his first games back. .

Who did he impress? His fanboys? Do you see any basketball specialists raving about Exum anywhere? Seriously guys, you guys are so overboard with his "impressiveness". There is nothing so impressive about him in general. He is what he is - overrated, overhyped, injury prone, timid player with no midrange game or jumper and who will never be better than backup PG in NBA.

LOL. Basketball specialists? He just came back. He's not even on the radar. And they're too busy tugging on Lebron's dick. **** the basketball specialists. They can't even get DPOY right.

And injury prone? He had one knee injury and then a jackass pulled a jackass move that could have injured anyone.

His speed is elite. ELITE. His passing, drives, defense are impressive. He plays within himself. Considering his age/experience he's been decent.

But now the game has changed for him. It has been obvious since summer league but some people can't see it.

His stats haven't even been bad, especially considering the mind games Quin played on him and the fact that he was coming off an ACL injury.

His 2pt. percentage last year was 52%. His FT % was .79%. He's going to get a lot more FT's as he drives more.

Yes, his shot is ugly and may never be great but his speed and the fact that he plays smart can make up for a lot.

Nothing would make me happier than eating crow on this, but i don't think he's even worth the QO. I hope he's impressing elsewhere next season.

Nothing impressive about those stats. In fact they are very mediocre at best.
And his speed is great but not elite. Elite is Westbrook, Wall, Schroeder, ( D.Rose before injuries) and as we all know Mitchell is faster then Exum as well. Passing, drives and defense? Again, above average at best.

Same here. I would eat that crow with bigger pleasure than I was eating one about Hayward...

Neither his drives nor his passing is above average (he's below average). Only his speed and length are.

Mitchell has great explosive speed but I bet Dante would handle him easily in a 40 yard dash. Dante definitely has ELITE speed. He might even be the fastest player in the NBA in a sprint. The problem is that Dante doesn't have the lateral explosiveness of those you mentioned.

Anyways, it's fun to prognosticate. I might be wrong about Dante but I think he's going to surprise you and a lot of others. And since very few have come out strongly in support of his future, we'll have a lot of fun with the I-told-you-so's if he excels. I'm warming up the crow as we speak.

Definitely not. Mitchell beat him by a lot in 3/4 court sprint ( 3.01 vs 3.19) . I posted those numbers before already - Dante is above average in that but way bellow Westbrook, Mitchell, Wall and even our old Randy Foe.

Found this:

Other notable favorites include John Wall (Kentucky) and Wesley Johnson ( Syracuse) both posting a time of 3.14. Evan Turner (Ohio State) ran a 3.27. . Usain Bolt comes out as the winner in 2.95 seconds... He has a bad RT though. . Dante Exum (3.19) Chris Paul (3.22) Steph Curry (3.28) Damian Lillard ...


But I bet Dante is much faster now than in the combine. His booty has gotten huge. And Donovan was probably 2.5 years older than Exum.

You would lose a lot of money. You forgetting he had ACL surgery. That does not add speed.
