If he can stop being so terrified of going hard to the rim he might turn out to be pretty good.

He's not terrified anymore. He's lost most of the Bambi lost in the headlights look.

His problem is finishing at the rim. If he can do that consistently look out, because he can get to the rim!
 
Mods, can you please re-name all of hotttleikheeen threads to read 'Exum 1', 'Exum 2', 'Exum 3'... and so on?
 
Needs to be able to make defenses pay for sagging off him..... especially once he has started his dribble.
If he is dribbling then the defender only needs to worry about the drive at this point and can defend him accordingly.
 
Exum played great as the PG in the 1st half .He was a threat to go coast to coast and with the ball in his hand he was very aggressive.
Then Snyder took the ball out of his hand and started him with Mack in the 3rd quarter and mack was Mack hogging the ball and Exum was shackled in the offense.
I know i wasn't the only one to see the difference.

I just want him to bulk up. If he can develop his body the same way Hayward has, I still think he has massive potential. Just being a bit bigger and stronger would instantly make finishing easier for him.

Totally agree. This is what hinders his defense because he get pushed around so easily. Actually, to a lesser degree, this is a weakness of Rudy. Both need to get stronger, though Rudy has gotten a lot stronger in the last two years.
 
I want to see more off the ball screens to get Exum open going to the rim. He excels with quickness, his ability to blow by players one on one is elite. I really feel like Quin's sets magnify Exum's weaknesses, and attenuate his strengths.

Work on his body, 3s and his handle with both hands.

This, exactly. Needs to be a little stronger in order to finish at the rim, needs to shoot a bit better, and needs to be able to drive left. If he can improve in each of those areas, look out!
 
Exum is young but has absolutely shown some promising flashes. Now it's gonna come down to his offseasons.

Will he be like Hayward? Or will he never put it all together?
 
I like Dante and I still think he has an upside. But he got what he deserved in terms of playing time. If he wants more minutes he needs to learn to finish or getting to the rim is irrelevant. And he has to be able to hit wide open 3's. Pretty simple
