Did somebody just try to argue Stockton wasn't elite in terms of steals?
Just watched a video of Andrew Wiggins' 30-point performance on his 20th birthday. I have no idea what Exum will end up being, but he's certainly not that. What I do know is that he is going to have every opportunity to be the best player he can be on the Jazz. Can't really ask for much more than that.
I think some of his timidness has to do with Quin who seems to be managing him carefully. You notice how during the ends of quarters when they play for one shot, he immediately hands off to Hayward, Ingles, Hood, or Burke. So, he's not even running the team, and that's by design. Of course, you also see Quin barking at him when he has an obvious lane to the hoop and he doesn't take it.
Yet the players play hard for him and I have seen nothing that says they don't respect and like him. And players from his last team seemed to love him (I know he was just an assistant, it's different).I think there is a lot that is going on, and wanted to touch on something you said. When you mentioned Quin barking at Exum because of him not driving a lane. That is something that I have witnessed far too often at the games I have attended. I don't get to go to a lot of games, none the less, see a lot of games because I live in Las Vegas and for the majority they televise west coast teams. However my job has sent me to about 10 games this year to the team of my choice. I have chose the Jazz every time because I am from there and I have family in Utah. My point is that every time I go to a game I sit behind the Jazz bench. And every time I hear Quin ripping into players constantly. One of the games I went to the Coach from the opposing team looked at Quin, shook his head in disappointment as he walked back to his bench in disgust for how he was ripping into the team. I understand that coaches can sometimes be hard, but it almost seems like Quin is (at times) borderline abusive. I have liked Quin at times, and I try to be supportive, but I think that he has to learn how to be patient. I know I am going to get a lot of hate for this post, but its just what I have witnessed.
