Is Exum timid or are we slowing his development

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I don't get to watch often, but the 25-30% of games I have seen, I don't see anything that tells me Exum is scared--body language. Everybody agrees that he makes plays from time to time that show great amounts of confidence.

He looks scared a lot going to the rim. A couple of times he has gone to the rim and it would have resulted in a contact layup if he went all the way to the backboard, but he just flicks up a forced floater to avoid contact.

Mid third quarter tonight Donte scored a put back from beside the rim. It looked like he didn't jump as he shot when he could have dunked it. It looked odd to me.

Maybe it just tells you that a 19 year old rookie who's previous highest level of competition was against a bunch of Kangaroo-banging Austrailian HS'ers probably isn't going to be able to do much in the NBA right away and their is a high chance of being overwhelmed quickly.

Maybe I should move to Australia.

I really hope he learns to become more agressive. This can come with time, but generally it's a trait that is inate. Time will tell..... duh.
