It's not fair to classify Exum as Alec Burks Lite. We really don't know what he is going to be. He could end up being better than Burks. He could end up being a bust. Time will tell. I do love that he is ultra competitive and brings a lot to the table that Trey doesn't. My guess is that they play together a lot and we figure out if that's going to work or if we should eventually trade Trey. I just hope fans are patient with him. He is not going to be a finished product on day 1. I personally believe Exum will be better than you are giving him credit for. I am guessing you want Alec to start. Down the road I prefer Exum/Burks to Burke/Burks.
 
Don't entertain this guy. Dante is projected to be much better than alec. We have an amazing group of guards now and I am amped to see them play together.

The quitting of a fairweather fan, justification for unreasonable Burke haters to demand a trade and the right to cry about "the city of Utah".

It was a good night.
 
problem is not how good Dante going to be, it is that we have Hayward who cant react well to tough SFs in the opposition team. Consider the long term, Trey, Dante, Hayward perimeter is gonna be talented but will lack physicality. That is it.
Plus i was on the board to trade Burks long ago and now it seems like a must. Not fair to let that guy stay and get rusty on the bench, at least he can go out some team and contribute a bit.

To sum up, if Dante Exum not gonna be a superstar, this draft pick will not be right to the point at all.
 
Exum is a PG (if he's going to be great he'd better be anyway) and I'm convinced the Jazz took him to be a PG. Burks is a pure SG. Non issue. I have my issues with Exum, but he is not Burks. To put it simply, he's Trey's replacement.

With the drafting of Exum this IMO means Hayward will play the 3....... Or he is gone through a S&T or just letting him walk.

Trey and Alec are starting THIS year. There is no question about it. Exum is a HUGE project. The guy is only 19 years old next month and needs a lot more experience. I know everyone is excited about him being the 5th pick and the think he should start.........Not going to happen. He needs more experience. He could for sure over take Trey. But right now he needs to develop.

Trey - Exum
Burks - Exum

Exum will be backing up both guard positions and playing plenty of minutes to develop. They will probably sign a back up PG veteran who is there just in case Exum gets in foul trouble.

But a combination of those 3 young players rotating together??? Bright future and this year will be fun to watch these guys rotate. Very quick front court.

Frankly, I don't see Trey in our plans long-term. I think a more likely backcourt rotation would be Exum-Burks-Hayward.

This is a good post. For now, Exum will back up both guard spots. Long term, if Exum becomes a player, Trey will be loooking for a job.

Great post.

I'm looking forward to these scenarios.

I want the Jazz to succeed with the players they have on the roster. I don't dislike anyone we have.
