Waiting on Exum

I do like the suggestion of bringing in a guy like Cory Joseph. I think he could be had too... With Patty Mills back I'm not sure you'd want to pay a 3rd pg around $5 M a year (I think that is what it would take to bring him in). There is obvious danger in picking up Spurs System guys though... they tend to look a lot better when playing for the Spurs than when they move on to other teams.
 
Corey Joseph all day, bishes. He's an excellent defender and would fit into Q's vision immediately. And, we can afford that $$$.

Get it done.

Strength is needed, obv... not necessary for him to make a huge leap though. He's already burning past guys before putting on his best deer in the headlights face. If he figures out how to score he will scare the league in the assists department. Dude has elite court vision I believe.

Crazy court vision...he's a fly out there.

He needs to be able to dribble more than strength. You can be a fast as you want but if your handle isn't up to par you can't really use your speed.

Yeah he definitely needs a move to get him free. Even a subtle jab step would help, hes so quick.

Agree. He often gets into the lane and then it's like, "holy ****, what do I do now?"
With Hayward and Burks? playing beside him, I think he needs to work the most on his 3PT shooting. Obviously, he'll go to P3 with the others and work on adding strength and conditioning in the off-season. Sounds like Snyder has the right plan in place; he's having Dante concentrate on pushing the ball and playing great defense right now.
 
I feel like Dante is not really an explosive athlete as much as he has long fluid stride. With his body geometry, it helps his quickness, but gives him a high center balance which makes him get knocked off balance easily. He really needs to get stronger. He will eventually but it will take time.

He's definitely not explosive. That was one reason I didn't want to draft him. He still looks like a 26 inch Jarron Collinsesque vertical.

Maybe Snyder should tell him to copy Trey's game until he figures it out. Couldn't be worse than the 5th pick and Trey is leaving his options open Burks.

Hopefully Exum will spend some time this upcoming offseason at P3 and work on that along with his strength and weight.
