Utah loves Dante Exum at 5

To all the Exum lovers out here, help me out - if you're picking him to play PG - who is his best comp? What's his ceiling like? Is he gonna be ultra athletic like Westbrook? He isn't gonna be a shooter like Curry.....




I'm all for picking Exum to play SG with Burke, but if he's gonna be the PG I just don't have a good handle on him there....
penny hardaway as a point guard would be his ceiling imo.
livingston would be his middle ground

also mcw is a similar type player. (tall, poor shooter)
 
I'm too young to remember Penny Hardaway...

Think...

A 6 foot 6 less intense Westbrook with a smoother outside shot and outstanding ball handling skills... Or heck, afro Kobe Bryant.

Penny could have been Kobe Bryant had he never suffered from so many injuries. Penny would be in the HOF had he not suffered injuries.

yup.
penny was a total badass..... if exum ever gets to his level (unlikely) then he is a top 8 guy in the league.
 
Position is SF. Comp is Julius Randle.

McBuckets. Exum's outside shot isn't very good but he can drive on anybody, right? The P&R drive and kick game with Exum and McBuckets would terrorize the league much like how Harden and Parsons destroy defenses. The problem is... I'm not sure either plays much defense themselves...

I don't recall that being one of Exum's strengths....
 
Can he play SF and is he #hungry? I think I heard Chris Mannix say that he thinks that Exum could be a star. He's the biggest risk/reward player in the draft. It would kill us to wiff on a #5 pick.

he was talking about hardaway.

hardaway is exums CEILING so exum would have to greatly improve his shot to reach his ceiling.
understand?
