Exum had better gain at least 15 lbs of muscle prior to next season. This guy needs to quit being so afraid of driving to the basket.

I know he is thin and so everyone thinks he can't take contact but I think wiggins is thinner and the same age as exum and he seems fine.
Lavine is a thin 19 year old.
Durant is thin.
Burks is just a little bit thicker than exum from what I can see.

I think being super skinny is ok...... but you do need to be a good, talented basketball player with the right mentality in order to succeed imo.
Not sure if exum has those things

Burks and Durant also suffered season injuries this year. Maybe being super skinny isn't ok.

Maybe.
That's too bad then cause I don't think exum is ever not going to be skinny.

Then again I have seen dudes that are not that skinny have season ending injuries too.

A Timberwolves fan on another forum put it best:

"We somehow won OT with Chase Budinger playing the 4 vs Derrick Favors
incredible."

Explain to me how we did not exploit this at the end of the game. I'm ok with a loss, but when we let somebody play and act like Kobe did this year it's a disaster for team chemistry and doesn't build anything.

Agree. IMO it's not the size of dog in the fight in this case

Yeah, Cy's comment was weird. Reggie Miller is one of the skinniest guys I've seen in the league and he played 10 seasons in a row without any significant inuries. I don't think there is any evidence that in basketball, skinny guys get injured more often or more seriously than bigger guys.

Derrick Rose - not skinny.

I agree that he would be better if he dared drive to the basket, or dribble, or something. But I don't think Dante's problems can be solved in a weight room.
 
So the minny GM took some heat for trading away Trey, especially when Shabazz wasn't working out. I guess that most, if not all, the second guessing was laid to rest last night.

Way to go Trey! Flip Saunders salutes you!


Minny is going to be better than the jazz next season. They mopped up in that Love deal. Wiggins and Lavine will be killing Jazz for years to come.

I'm not so sure. Burks will be back. Exum, Hood and Gobert will all be better as well.

The Wolves will be better but so will the Jazz. I look forward to lots of heated games with them over the next decade.
