Start Dante for Rubio

Nah, I think his lack of turnovers is legitimately impressive considering how many lobs he throws. That's not easy to do. Those are high risk plays.

He is good at that I will give him that and the floater he has been trying is going to be a counter when the defenses try to take away the lob.

But what he does is solely at the rim and he is not a great finisher. The lob won't always be there.

Sure, but last night he found more than the lob. He found people cutting to the rim and shooters spacing the floor.
 
Slam Dante or diminish if you want but the last 3 games Dante is averaging 21 minutes (up from 16 minutes) and avg 16 pts / 6 assists, he's contributing

It is great to see Exum producing in last few games but lets not forget we have 4 years and 30 games in this season where he was playing at pretty much G-league player level. I suggest everybody to calm down and tamper those expectations... we had similar talks after he scored 22 pts in blowout loss vs OKC or 15 pts vs GSW in game 4 loss. The he would disappear for 30 games again. Give me consistent play for 20 + games and then I may become a believer.
 
Nobody is slamming Dante. Every poster here considers his play of late great news. But also most people won't overreact to it the way his fans do.
Quin is going to give him more minutes and we will have a better idea of who he is, but coaches and GMs can't passionately overreact to everything as fans do or players like Rubio or Dante would have been traded to 20 teams by now.

Um he will if quin lets him play with ball in his hands!!! It's all up to quin!!! Start to think people. Quin has to take responsibility for his misjudgement of how to play. He stuffed up bad
 
I’ve been very impressed with Dante these last few games - his dribbling seems more confident, great lateral quickness, great defense. Much more in control, much more aggressive, and you can see his level of confidence growing. I don’t know about starting him over Rubio yet, but he’s got to play more minutes, and he’s got to play with the ball in his hands. I like him on the floor with Korver, Ingles, Favors and Rudy. Lobs to the bigs all night long and passes out to the perimeter shooters. I’m a believer.
 
Don't f**king matter about the last 4 yrs ,only to yourself ,but when Exum is playing great on National TV and what everyone sees they see the right now. Right now fanz see Exum throw down dunks and feeding lobs for Gobert and Favors to get their dunks. Feeding Korver in rythem for catch and shoot 3's .That's the right now ,who cares about the last 4 years ,that's just a storyline,not the NOW.

I see, so last 3 games is more important than what we have seen in 4 years? Ok.
