You are really good at what you do vinyl. Errrr Nickk.

Gotcha.. I always noticed it and thought you were fighting with Dalamon and UGLI over the dairy queened thing.
A couple of his best plays in the game were going left (pick and roll with Gobert, drive and dish to Gobert). He didn't seem right-hand dominant at all to me.I could tell after his defender sat on his right hand two straight times and he had trouble. I don't want to keep harping on it because I love him and don't want to come off as a detractor or hater or whatever. But we'll see, maybe I should've just said I'm concerned that could be a weakness for him early on. Not to mention, plenty of guys have had excellent careers - even HOF careers being one-hand dominant (Drexler). Just not PGs. Which was the point of the thread - that he's an off-guard and could be amazing at that.
This is what I saw as well. I saw a PNR to Gobert and a great pass with his left hand. And a drive to the left baseline after a crossover (though I think he missed the layup on this one).A couple of his best plays in the game were going left (pick and roll with Gobert, drive and dish to Gobert).

edit: Watching some of his highlights from international competitions, Dante seems to cross guys over right to left a lot. Really not seeing it, dude. Handle is loose, but he seems just as comfortable going left as he does going right.
Bumping this thread from summer league - I still stand by it. Dante needs to improve his left badly - even Tony Jones agrees. Again, no slight on Dante.... I am fired up we drafted him, and think he can be awesome. I just don't see a PG as of now.

I will be the first one to put it in print - my prediction is - if the Jazz decide to make Dante into a shooting guard, he will never be an all-star player.
You're right, he's not a NBA PG right now. But he's even less a NBA SG. We're talking about a guy who got his *** kicked by scrubs in summer league and again by Euro scrubs. Dude can't play anything right now. Having said that, if he has any shot at all of looking like he belongs this year, it is at the point where he has some strengths and has an advantage due to his size.
Oh, and Tony Jones is a dumbass. Never hitch your wagon to that guy.

I thought Exum had moments of brilliance during summer league when he played on the ball. He hardly got his *** kicked other than when he was off the ball.

7 ppg, 30% FGs, more turnovers than assists. 2 rebs. If that's not getting your *** kicked, I'm not sure what would qualify.
