Harris was such a raw prospect coming out, he was still 18 or just turned 19 when drafted. Orlando gave up on him in his 5th year, trading him for Brandon Jennings. Jazz of course are more patient and might have stuck with him had they drafted him...maybe.

Maybe this is why the Jazz have stayed the course with Exum...

Or, a tweener is a forward who isn't big enough to play in the post in the NBA and doesn't have the ball skills and shooting skills to play on the perimeter. See Thomas Robinson from Kansas.

Nah, that's not what I get when I think of a tweener. Offensive roles are very versatile and all types of players can be successful in the league. You can have a rolling player or a popping player, you can have have a high post hub players, you can have stretch players or playmaking players, you can have offensive creators, etc and every combination of all of those and more. If you don't have low post presence or ballskills for the perimeter, that doesn't make you a tweener... that makes you a limited offensive player. Hell... do you know that we have such a player starting for us right now? He's arguably a top 15 player in the league and all-NBA 2nd team last year. Yah. Gobert cannot post up(even if he has size) and he cannot handle or shoot. That doesn't make him a tweener.

Tweeners to me is a description of defensive inbetweeners syndrome. A player who cannot guard any position.

Is this true... Oh man... I'm sad.

I just hope we get some closure on "Is Exum good" question at some point? Like at some point we looked at CJ miles and were like... yeah he's just kinda average. If Dante doesn't stay healthy we may be asking ourselves in 20 years... Is Exum good?

Please don't be bad Dante.

I mean, for where he was drafted, Miles was anything but a bust He was a project, however.

Oh I agree... he was just the guy that would flash and you’d think there was a lot more than there really was... also it seemed like he was 20 for like 5 straight years. Just the young potential stuff reminds me of Exum.

Remember his last game as a rookie? I think he scored 22pts and Sloan was like "where were you son?". From then he showed the unique ability of regressing every season. And if I remember correctly, in what was supposed to be his breaktrhough season he broke his finger during the preseason. Always something...

Rudy can defend and score at the rim though. TRob can't.
