Is Exum The Worst Player in The NBA Who Gets Minutes?

Do you guys think Dante could average 6+ assists, 1+ steals, 4+ rebounds, and be an excellent defender someday?

Yes there is a chance he could
Also a chance he couldn't though

Locke made what I thought was an apt comparison when he said Dante Exum reminds him of Ricky Rubio. I think Dante is a little quicker and a better shooter.

As usual Locke is a Moran. Rubio is a playmaker. The last thing he's ever done is stand around the three point line and swing the ball side to side. Exum shoots mostly threes. Rubio doesn't. Rubio has his faults, but they are completely different players.

And Rubio had been playing against really good full grown men since he was 14. Outside of Utah everyone thinks Exum is far ahead of where they thought he'd be. Chill out whiny bitches.

As if those you are referring to actually spend their time watching Jazz games? Yeah right.

Exum was projected to be the biggest project in the draft. He's playing very solid sometimes and very bland sometimes. He's not hurting the team, imo, but has shown flashes of what he can be. I think Jazz fans forget he was supposed to be the farthest from his ceiling out of anyone.

Apparently ESPN thinks that Exum Stauskus and LaVine are the worst rotation players in the league. Not Exum. Phew, we really dodged a bullet there...

Its and insider article. I will post the parts about LaVine and Stauskus.

Good hell. How do these writers get jobs at ESPN. It's like the only qualification is just be able to write, but you don't have know anything about basketball. All these advanced statistics are turning people retarded. What the hell do they really have to do with rookies? Especially ones in bad situations not getting opportunities?

I'd bet my left nut that both Stauskas and Lavine turn into good rotation players. If either one of these players were in different situations getting 38 minutes a night, they would both have high PER numbers, even as rookies.

The Kings and the Twolves are both pathetic organizations with their heads up their asses. That will be the only reasons these two players don't turn into anything.

Minutes, coaching, teamates, roles , etc... has so much to do with how a player looks in the numbers. You can't quantify talent. You have to be able to spot it and develop it. These are real life human beings with a moldable future. Not some video game player with a pre determined future. You don't draft someone based on all the scouting you do, then turn around and throw it out the window the minute it doesn't work. You figure out why it's not working. If your team keeps sucking year after year, and your player's keep busting, maybe it's not the players, maybe it's ownership and management. Their is a reason why the bad teams are always bad. It can't be constant bad luck.

With Dante everything depends on whether or not he will be able to become assertive enough and to finish around the rim. This simple offensive aspect of his game, I think, will dictate how his career develops. If he does become a threat around the rim, this opens a ton of chances for him to create offense and scoring opportunities, both for himself and for the team. His drive and kick and drive and dish opportunities are predicated on him being a threat to finish at the rim. If he can't do it, he will simply bust - if he can't drive and finish at the rim, he will be an extremely limited player, who might stick for his defense, but will be a complete liability in offense.

Damn, that depresses me. It's shocking that we even talk about a player who supposedly could get anywhere on the floor with the ball due to his quickness as a potential offensive liability. There is a ton of work he needs to put in in the off-season, but the biggest change have to be in his head. He simply can't go out there and be scared ****less to attack the rim.
 
Exum needs to do some Chris Paul dribbling skill practices everyday, even after games. There is no excuse for him not knowing how to dribble. I don't care if he's 19. If you're a point guard in the NBA, you should have known how to dribble well since middle school.

Whenever anyone pressure defends him, he always turns his back like a scared chicken. He can't size up anyone and stare them in the eye, even when he's guarded by ****ty defenders. Hell even Ian Clark can look forward while dribbling against a defender.
