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

Word is that the organization thinks he is going to be john wall with elite defense.

I think he is the Australian Kobe. J/k.

I think his probable production will be about 16-18 ppg, 6-8 apg, 4-5 rpg and elite defense.

That's good enough to make the team a contender if all else remains similar.

John wall with elite defense is an mvp candidate. Wall is what, the second best player in the east? I hope Dante ends up being that good. We would be great.

Young Penny Hardaway, less of a scorer, less athletic but more of a floor general.. I think he'll be a markedly better 3pt shooter too

Excatly what has he shown in a game that makes you think this? Penny before the injuries was on his way to being a great player....Sure the highlight films might look similar but ever see the way Penny controlled a game, Which is point guards game.. Penny came in as PG and Exum a combo guard.. Bad comparison imo.

I agree to a point, however Penny is more cerebral scorer from any position on the court pull-ups spot ups post fadeaways. Don't underestimate Exum's athletic ability. He will use his speed like Harris to get to the rim and the ft line, and he's like Kidd in that he's basically a pure pg that looks for spot up oppertunities and uses his length to play great defense and see and pass over the defense.

Where do you get this combo guard ,bs ? Exum was always a pure PG in Aussie land . Only when he got to the Jazz did they start talking positionless BB.In guarding opposing PG's you could tell he was in his natural position.He already knew what to do.

Of what I saw was a superior athletic kid who found out he could compete athletically to PG's in the NBA ,he has athletic confidence in himself.That translates ,why does Gobert,Favors,Hayward and Hood believe in Exum......maybe because they practiced everyday with him ??? Why does the front office and coaching staff believe in Exum ....yet some posters here have judged him from seeing him being a starter at 19.Other than Tony Parker ,how many 19 year old PG's has the NBA had ??? I've asked show other comparisons of other 19 year old starting PG's stats compared to Exum's.....No stats yet ,just judgements.

I think by mid year next year these same judgemental experts will be explaining why they doubted Exum when his team mates ,coaching staff and front office didnt.

Maybe I am mistaken, but I believe Exum plays SG for the Aussie team. Regardless, I'm with you. Hopefully he turns out to be very good.
