What will Dante Exum Be When All is Said and Done?

Cough sample size cough

Cough summer league effort not the same as regular season cough

Look, I hope Exum is terrific. I really do. But you can't point to a single summer league game and claim it shows anything real. You just can't. You can claim it gives you HOPE, but that's about it.

But... but... slightly better John Wall with elite defense
 
I'm not one for player comps, but I have some hopes in terms of production:

Next season: 8 PPG, 5 AST, 3 RB, 40% FG and 35% 3PFG. Top 5 defensive PG, distributor, attack the basket, and hit open 3's.

3-4 years: 13 PPG, 8 AST, 5 RB, 45 FG, 40% 3PFG. Elite defensive PG and Elite distributor. A threat offensively to hit open jumpers and to attack the basket.

I don't have high hopes of him being an elite offensive player. If he became similar to Westbrook even Wall offensively I'd be shocked. But defensively I think he will be a top 5 defensive point guard AT WORST. I expect him to make a ton of all NBA defensive 1st and 2nd teams over the course of his career. If he can be an elite defender and a threat offensively he will be a huge piece of our potetial championship hopes.

With Exum and Gobert, the Jazz could have the best on-the-ball defender and rim protector in the NBA for the next 10 years. We just need to find an elite go-to scorer. Man I wish Durant would sign with us...
 
Oh, you and your damnable facts and logic. Let us have fun on the Exum fantasy.

facts and logic are - incredible dimensions and athletic ability. Smart kid with a great work ethic. Promise to make a good jump in the next year or two.

You add that all up.
