Dante was never a better prospect and I have never seen anybody comparing him to Kobe ( that would be stupid as he was never even close to athlete Kobe was or had basketball skill set like Kobe - so what that he is 6'6?)... his best case scenario projected was Penny Hardaway ( which was laughable as well). He was mystery over hyped pick chosen purely on physical characteristics like length and quick first step. He made very smart business decision to not go to college and cash in while his hype was at it's highest, because had he gone to college his flaws would be exposed and his draft position would be dropping to 20-30 where it should have been. That's what you get sometimes when you draft mystery international players who never played against real competition. Sometimes you strike gold, sometimes you miss. Some of fans here were laughing at Orlando when they did not buy Exum hype and went with more proven Aaron Gordon. If somebody would offer to swap Gordon with Exum right now - you all would do it without even thinking for a second.
