Remembering what Exum did for the Jazz and why management stands so firmly behind him

one overlooked factor is that Rudy seemed to be able to catch Exums passes ok unlike a lot of other passes. X's return should help Rudy's offense as well. I can't wait to see him play again, going to go see him live at the Australian nation team vs Pac12 all stars in July here
 
Nothing wrong with this model either.....6'8" Rodney Hood next to Exum 6'6",with Hayward 6'8" at the perimeter.Lots of length in front of Favors and Gobert ......Oh wait ! That was the lineup when the Jazz had their best run in years.
Now add more length and speed with the 12th pick. Like FurkmanKorkmaz or Dejaunte Murray or Skal Lebassiere

That's a good point. Dante had a knack of getting Rudy the ball where he wanted.

Baldwin was a great catch and shoot guy. I think he can become a suffocating defender if he wants to be. Would give us some Exum insurance in case injuries or he becomes a bust. If both guys developed we have playmaking/ballhandling and positional flexibility that would BALLZ.

There's literally no downside. At minimum, good shooter with elite defensive potential. And let me tell you, if Snyder can get Rodney Hood to be even an average defender then he can get Baldwin to be close to elite. And if we have two great perimeter defenders + Hayward that can properly funnel guys into two great interior defenders + the ability to switch on the outside (even Favors is pretty good with this), then that's an incredibly suffocating defense.

these.

The following statement will be wildly misunderstood by 99% of jazzfanz: I see flickers of Stockton in Baldwin. Specifically in the economy of his crossover and the way he uses his body to get off driving shots. He's obviously bigger and longer. Anyway... I like. I'd be happy with him. (notice that I didn't say ANYTHING about passing, court vision, etc. TIA)

I'm about to go into a deep dive on Baldwin. You guys have me intrigued.

I think right from the get go Rudy will be more engaged on offense ,ready for the lobs from Exum AND ready for more shotblocking opportunities as Exum funnels the PG's to him

I'm still firmly 100% behind Exum. I still think he will be superstar.

If Exum ends up a superstar then this team is already going to be dangerous and Hayward becomes our Robin. That's a hell of a team already.

Add a vet shooter and work on Lyles outside shot...

Im really intrigued with Dejaunte Murray with the 12th pick......Im not very big on Mack/Neto backing up Exum and also DMurray would really make the guard play of the Jazz electrifying and in constant attack mode paired with Exum,Hood and Burks.
 
I'm an Exum fan and am really excited for next season. Still intrigued by idea of adding D. Murray. Could play with Exum or back him up. Makes me wonder what Shawn Livingston and Penny Hardaway could have become as teammates (assuming we could mix and match players from different eras).
