Realistic expectations for Exum, our future star

[yamers]

Not true. Even on his first year, Kobe was aggressive. In fact, Kobe was selected to the all-star team when he was Exum's age.

exactly.

I think out of all the superstar comparisons Penny Hardaway is the closest.

You are mistake.

Boobs is that you?

I would take Dante over everyone in his draft class.

I see him as a kid with a ton of patience that is oozing with basketball talent on both ends of the floor.

He's an Aussie, and Aussie's are chill. He's not Kobe coming out of Philly with tons of swagger. He has been raised in a way that he will never demand a new head coach a'la D-Will and he will usually defer to an open man. That's just who he is.


In his favor:

-He will get much stronger.

-He probably will improve his shot.

-He will get faster.

-He will become more explosive.

-He will increase his stamina.

-He will become more accustomed to the speed of the game.



As all this happens his confidence will improve and he could become one of the all-time greats...In my opinion.

The shot at 2:08 is actually Dante. Penny is Dante.

Preach on Brother str8line! Bring the Exum hype that we crave like junkies!

Exum is not far off from kobes rookie season.

You are very wrong.

Kobe
96-97: 14.4 PER
97-98: 18.5 PER (all-star)

Penny
93-94: 17.4 PER
94-95: 20.8 PER (all-star)

Dante
14-15: 7.9 PER

Honestly I'm not very high on Exum...his offense leaves much to be desired.

 

[r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t]

Here is what is somewhat scary: His stats are about identical to what Diante Garrett put up last year but Garrett's shooting percentage was better.

Diante Exum?
