Kobe wants to mentor Exum

It will be much easier when Kobe joins coach q's staff next season.

You do know that Kobe averaged over 5 ast/game 11 different seasons, and has a career average of 4.8 ast/game. Dante, per36, averaged 3.9 ast/game (real numbers only 2.4 ast/game). Regardless, getting Dante to take more than 5 shots a game could be considered a major breakthrough.

So what? Every play ran through him. He was practically the point guard, with Fisher averaging something like 2.5 AST a game. So Kobe's 5 AST is not exactly a monument for teamwork.

Yeah, you're right, Kobe was terrible. This is the worst idea ever. /sarcasm

Pretty sure the biggest complain on Exum was him looking timid and Kobe Bryant might be the least timid player in the history of the NBA. I doubt Kobe is going to be "mentoring" him. It will probably just be like a week long workout session where he workouts with him and talks to him, just a confidence booster knowing you worked out with Kobe. Maybe he can bring Lyles along and have him drool on himself.

You must be some special kind of idiot to interpret my comment that way. It was a specific response to a specific claim. Nothing more, nothing less.

As much as I hate Kobe, I have to acknowledge that he is one of the GOAT. It would be a great opportunity for Dante.

I would pick his brain as much as possible if I were Exum. Go to the point of annoying him. You know how Kobe is, he would definitely take Exum under his wing if he saw the same desire, drive, and love for the game he had. Whether you "like" Kobe or not, this would be huge for Dante.

I want to mentor Exum. Im positive i can increase his vertical from high school level to NBA. That is his biggest weakness and the reason he is so timid on drives. I am positive this is what Kobe wants to work with him so bad. What was he 26 inches at the columbine? I could get that up to 36 inches in a summer with his athleticism and young body. That would change him from a non-starter to a near all star. That is why Kobe wants to work with him. To take credit from Quin and riggle his way into the coaching circles.

"Touching base" = mentoring?

Saw it in sportal here in AUS don't know if Im allowed to post a link (been in trouble before for doing that- unless Im thinking of wrong Jazz Forum)

Posting links is always fine here.

anyone who doesnt want his pre-draft comp (many compared their body types, potential, etc. before he found his home here), who happens to be a HOF player, and an NBA alpha, to talk/work with Exum is certifiably insane.

One could only hope that Exum becomes a player we can run every play through. IMO giving him every opportunity to learn to assert himself outweighs any alleged chuckerism.
