Playoff rotation set except backup PG,Exum best option against GS
Exum played 99 minutes (33 minutes avg) against Golden State in the 3 games played this year.In those 99 minutes Exum finished (-4 points) when he played.
Golden State avg. 116 ppg in the regular season and only 103 ppg against the Jazz.This with Favors missing all 3 games and Hayward,Hill ,&Hood missing 2 out of the 3 games.Exum's perimeter defense was a factor of GS averaging 13 ppg less because offensively his shooting didn't help.With a healthy Jazz team now it's not his offense needed but his defense.Averaging 33 mpg in 3 games and not hurting the Jazz Exum has playing experience and knows GS offense and defense whereas 4 of the starters and rotation players have hardly played against GS this year.
Comparing Exum to Mack this year against GS,Mack played 90 minutes(30 mpg avg)and finished (-50 points) averaging (-17 per game) when he played.He got torched.
Neto played 27 minutes in 2 games for a (+ 3)
This past series against Clippers ,Exum looked so much faster than Neto and Mack and looking like he could have helped out so much more if he had gotten the minutes given to Neto and Mack.
This upcoming series against GS and it's uptempo pace,Jazz need Exum out there in the rotation.His speed and length will be needed moreso in slowing down GS.
