well, i'm another Aussie on this board (and the old one) for a few years now. must admit, i DID NOT want exum, as stated in a couple of other threads. i do hope he becomes something special in this league (especially now) but i think he's a huge risk at #5 give his limited exposure and experience. of course if he can becomes half as good as people say he can be i'm all for the pick.
btw i grew up watching his dad DoMiNaTE as a top-level import for the canberra cannons (my NBL team) back in the 80s, so i mean it when i say that i hope to see him do well. suspect he will take some time to get it together, but if trey and alec continue to step-up their own games it can only help. hate hearing the anti-burke/burks talk in this forum, i think they've both got a heap of talent and improvement still to come, hopefully with utah rather than elsewhere.
Do know much about how he did in his high school league down under? Was he dominant? Just good? Are there stats to be found anywhere?
