Jazz were crushing it. I decided to try something new. So I put the phone down and watched the game with the kids.You left out the part about how the jazz were winning the game.
Exum was +24 tonight. Harden was -27

Yup, Melo really hurt them along with losing those other two. Melo now going to Fakers? Let's hope so and he can work his magic there.A not-that-small minority saw this when they dropped Luc and Ariza for Melo, but all the talking heads could see us ‘OMG Melo,’ and a lot of casual fans followed. They are exposing the real Rockets. Plus, it goes to show how much success is dependent on guys who may not get the largest stage.
That's a good point. Exum is elite in iso defense but gets eaten alive on screens sometimes.The Rocket offense is all about beating your man one-on-one.
Unfortunately, for most of the rest of the league, it's about getting through screens and being able to switch quickly and effectively - this is Exum's Achilles' heel on defense

Would not call it elite - elite is Kawhi, T.Allen ( prime), B.Bowen( prime), Thabo ( prime), Jrue Holiday. Exum is good to very good iso defender.That's a good point. Exum is elite in iso defense but gets eaten alive on screens sometimes.
I would, he is consistently the best in the NBA at staying in front of his guy in iso. His rotations and getting through screens is where he struggles.Would not call it elite - elite is Kawhi, T.Allen ( prime), B.Bowen( prime), Thabo ( prime), Jrue Holiday. Exum is good to very good iso defender.
Do you have any stats to prove it? Because it is a bold statement to say that he is better or at the same level as Kawhi for example.I would, he is consistently the best in the NBA at staying in front of his guy in iso.
How do you know this?I would, he is consistently the best in the NBA at staying in front of his guy in iso.
Yes, the stats were posted here before. I'll have to try and dig them up when I have time and am at a computer.Do you have any stats to prove it? Because it is a bold statement to say that he is better or at the same level as Kawhi for example.
ok, lets talk T.Allen then. Do you see Exum being at the same elite level as T.Allen when it comes to iso defense? I looked up opponent FG%per 100 plays - maybe not the best stat but still - Exum is decent at 46.3% , Rubio just a tiny bit worse at 46.7%, but for example D. Green 42.9%, Rozier 41.9%, Siakam 43.4%, Kawhi 43.6%, heck even our own Korver in 4 games for the Jazz is at 43.6%.I mean, Kawhi isnt the best defender because of his ability to stay in front. He's the best because he has ungodly length, super quick hands, and the ability to guard 1-4.
Yeah, in some aspects. He's better at moving his feet and staying in front than Allen was. Allen relied on his strength and physicality. It's why he was so good at guarding Kobe, a guy who loved to post-up guards.ok, lets talk T.Allen then. Do you see Exum being at the same elite level as T.Allen when it comes to iso defense?
