What would you consider good sophomore season for Dante?

I've said this and I'll keep saying it. Exum isn't playing for Utah this year. We just have some skinny DLeaguer and Exum is taking a RS year. You'll enjoy that DLeaguer more this year and Exum more next year if you look at it this way.

I posted that in the other thread that was linked here. I like my prediction. Right now Exum is at 5pts/2 Rebs/2assists/1 steal. Me likey. Mall I'd change for this year is Exum taking three more shots per game. His defense is a lot better than I had hoped for. I actually feel better about Exum now than I did before the season.

What I want for his "rookie year" next year (because he is on his redshirt year this year, and we have a DLeague scrub wearing Exum's jersey):

Stronger. 25-30 mins per game. 10 shots per game. 10 pts, 3 assists, 2 Rebs, 1 steal, increase percentages. Shoots three FT's a game.

If he can do that, I think he breaks out big time in his third season. Big time.
 
I think so much of his improvement will rely on him getting stronger. Without that there won't be a big improvement. But if he gets stronger we'll see a Hayward-like improvement, maybe more. When he beefs up his assists will probably go through the roof as he draws more attention and goes for the rim.
 
number one thing i'd like to see is his attempts at the rim up ten-fold. Would do wonders for his development to have to think in the paint in stead of the stand-still catch and shoot game he's at now.

I think this is way too lofty. This is hopefully where he is at by his 3rd year. I think he's gonna have a rough 2nd year tbh. But I keep having to remind myself that Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors kind of looked like busts early on too at times so its okay.

Yeah... He's played a lot like how Brevin Knight played for us his las year here on offense. Hardly got into the paint dribbled around for no reason up top, would pass and then just hoist jumpers from his mother in laws house. Knight by the way had no business being in the league when he was in Utah. He was done. As Jalen Rose says, just keep collecting those checks.

4 years from now, hopefully his body looks like its been chisled by the hands of Zeus. Hopefully he looks like Corey Maggette when he was playing for the clippers and getting to the line like 13 times a game.
 
I'm just gonna say it because Of the apparent thirst for knowledge on this thread. Exum is gonna have a rough 2nd year. People like Yamers and Green will be shouting bust (!!!) a lot next season. There will be some serious doubt but then, in his 3rd year, the clouds will part rays of light will flood down and destroy the darkness of doubt. Dante will have a great year his 3rd year and we will be looked at as a contender in the West.

Dante will be like Hayward. Figure it out by his 5th year. Very cerebral player, it takes time.
