Common knowledge. I don't think anybody is "counting" on Exum being anything. Just hoping.
What is Exum's value?

Most young ballers recover from ACL injuries just fine. Baron Davis and Kyle Lowery are good examples as both tore their ACL when they were Exum's age and were fine. My concern is whether he can stay healthy. The play he tore it on was strange. No twisting like you usually see.

Why are we comparing the older guy who tore his Achilles to the 20 year old who tore his ACL?
Nine more years of wear and tear(Matthews) on his BB legs and coming back from a "Achilles tear not ACL"makes him look slower . Exum will have had 13 months of rehab since his surgery before pre season starts.With only 29 starts at age 19 in the NBA, Exum doesn't have a lot of heavy NBA minutes on his legs.This is a big difference between Matthews and Exum,most people understand this.
Big reason alot of people are counting on Exum picking up where he left off is because they don't see panic coming from the Jazz front office.Even the Jazz beat writers aren't tweeting out red flags and warnings.Until someone comes in here showing pics of a still hobbled Exum or inside info to the contrary,then you think he is progressing along nicely .There's where the hoping follows.

This isn't what DL thinks. I'll say it again: our future is Exum and Gobert in DL's mind. They aren't going anywhere.
