This is going to be a great bump thread in a couple of years.

The only thing I ask of Exum is to take it to the ****ing rim strong.

Kanter and Exum both made the mistake of not playing basketball for a year before coming to the NBA. THat kind of puts you behind the curve.

... and got them picked third and fourth overall in the draft. That sure was a lucrative "mistake" they made by not playing.

I understand why they did it, and give major props to their agents. As far as being able to perform at basketball though, I think it was a mistake.

Would Tim Duncan's career be different if he took a year off of HS and came to the NBA afterwards? Who knows? Lower leagues are better places to learn base fundamentals though, such as being able to make passes that aren't dribble handoffs (in Kanter's case) or being able to play 5 minutes in a row without getting winded (Exum's case).

Kind of hard to be pissed when you clearly don't deserve any playing time.

David Robinson took two years off to go Navy.

At the minimum he won't have any problem backing up Burke now. This was a humbling experience for him. There shouldn't be any training camp drama to worry about.

pretty disappointed in exum, he's not doing what I want him to do all the time.
should have traded the pick for assets.

good teams always have assets.

Kind of (actually way way) different because he played 4 years of college basketball. His fundamentals were already down when he took time off.

OMG.

What's the elevation in North Korea though? Isn't it higher than high altitude Utah? Who wouldn't expect a kid who's been out of structured ball for what 11 months now to struggle at not only Utah altitude but in North Korea altitude???


Give him a few days, kids.
