WHAT DID I SAY? dante exum cant even break down the korean defense.

[Goodluckchuck]

Exum is going to be just fine. The BB IQ I see from this kid is mind blowing for his age. And I already see glimpses of determination from him. Once he builds confidence and endurance along with strength. He is going to be crazy good. We can all agree the passes we see him make already are crazy impressive. So we know the skill is there. Just give him the time to put it together. And we will be glad we did.

What unbelievable ball iq has he shown? I'm genuinely asking. Because if we're talking about making a great pass, that's not ball iq to me. That's having great vision.

Part of the reason he seems like he has such great BBall IQ is that he is looking to pass 90% of the time he has the ball and forgoes really driving to the basket strong, taking contact, or finding space to pull for shots.

Good Grief.

There are a ton of players who have PG skills, but a SG offensive game (Including Trey Burke IMO). Exum is the perfect compliment to a guy like Burke. Mitigate Exum's potential weakness by having Burke bring the ball down the floor. He then passes it to Exum who runs the offensive set, with Burke playing off the ball. Maximizes both of their strengths and allows Burke to guard the smaller guy, with Exum guarding the bigger guy. Allows the Jazz to manage match-ups to their advantage.

I think some of you guys are just bored, and are looking for something... anything to whine about.

Has he looked great to you in the SL and FIBA? Good? Mediocre? Poor? I'm genuinely curious. All we have to go off of are the games we've seen him in.

No my favorite past time was ripping on Corbin.

I don't know what I'm going to do next year.

You can rip on:
1. Hayward: unless he averages 20/5/5, some are still going to rip on him because of his contract. No, I take that back. Unless he goes MMA after taking a hard foul, some will still say he's not a "leader."
2. Exum: 19 yr old with no college experience should come in, win the starting job from Burke and average 16/8. Anything less and he's a bust!

Seriously, I'm really upset at Lindsey. He's brought in 15 players I actually want to see play. I'm even intrigued by what the "end-of-benchers" like Felix, Murry and Motum might bring to the team. For the first time in forever, I'm actually excited about the entire roster.

While I agree we're worrying too much about Exum as a raw prospect, I have to disagree about Burke and Exum complementing each other; they don't. We saw that in SL. Burke is a ball-hog. He is NOT going to share the ball. And Exum needs to have the ball in his hands to create. Trey is not an off-the-ball threat and neither is Dante. Neither can shoot (well, apparently Trey has some nice stats in the last 5 mins. of games. Other than that, he's a bricklayer).

Jazz have two SG's who are vastly superior to either Exum or Burke playing off-guard (Burks and Hayward). Add in Hood and the wing rotation is set (with maybe Felix or Clark getting some spot minutes). There is ZERO need to downgrade at SG by forcing Exum over there. Dante has shown he's very raw. The solution is to start Burke and play him for 28-30 mins. Let Exum get 15-18 (all at PG) and play Murry a bit as needed. As Dante increases his endurance and skill level, then cut Burke back. If it looks like Exum is ready to take over as the starter either this year or next, then Burke is traded at that point.

I agree. They don't seem complimentary to me. Small sample size though.

Great vision is a part of BB IQ in my book. But it's more than just vision. Anyone can play PG and vision the pass, but you must have great timing to make the pass. That's what I have seen from him anyway.

I don't see that as great bbiq. I never played organize ball but I played a ton of pickup and in college could make some unbelievable passes, with virtually no turnovers. My bbiq sucked though. We'll agree to disagree on this.

One problem with this plan........ burks is better than both trey and dante.
