Exum had a quick release and he had to take that shot with the shot clock where it was. The problem is that his release is low and he doesn't have much arc and DRose had his 2011 hops and quickness.

Exum is great when he pushes the ball in transition and puts pressure on a scrambling defense. He just isnt good in half-court offense and the upper-bound of what Rubio is capable of is just better.
The upper-bound of Exum (that he has shown) is a change of pace guard who is great in transition and finishes at the rim. We've gotten the first part, but not the 2nd part as Exum's paint finishing has been below expected.

Not as disappointed since it was a road game and the dude with a grim reaper tat goes off for a career high on Halloween.
Really though why isn't your best 3 point shooters in the game for the last possession when you desperately need a 3?

Exum has the ultimate tool to beat half court defenses, his ability to get past his man. When he beats his man he collapses the defense then its an easy kick out. Sure he has a lot to improve, mainly finishing and PnR play but he wont develop those skills without minutes.
He needs to start playing with Rudy, DM, Niang etc not ****ing Ekpe Udoh.

We can sugar coat all we want, but we might not beat Houston if Harden doesn't go out. We struggled to beat Sacramento. We beat NOLA because AD was out. Dallas is not a good team.
We are out of rhythm. We are trying to play 10-11 guys because our options at PG and PF are playing like crap. We can't be loyal to a fault. Either Rubio or Favors figure it out or we play others.

No way dude, without Joe we'd started the season 0 - whatever, there's been multiple times he's the only dude with a pulse.

Breathe. The Jazz went 3-1 on a road trip, playing some good teams (yes, they're still good teams). The Jazz are better than fine.

He's shooting better than Rubio so far this year. Face it.
He barely plays with Udoh....

Lmfao Derrick Rose drops 50 on Rubio and some people still have the audacity to say "Rubio is a better player." I know some of you are biased and all, but holy ****.
Our PF's are playing very well....
We play 3 of them. All 3 are above average PER. All 3 offer something different based on matchups.
