Do You Allow Exum To Play During The Summer?

[Stoked]

Exum missed all season with his knee. Do you, if you are the Jazz FO, allow him to play for his NT this summer? Then put him in SL?

Why or why not?

He needs to do if for both rehab purposes and basketball development purposes.

yeah, you don't want him coming into camp in September without playing any live ball for almost 15 months.

He should definitely see some SL action if he's cleared to play.

Australia x USA in Olympics this year. I think he will play.

By the way, i have a ticket for this game.

Can't wait to see Hayward vs Ingles

 

[Stoked]

This is what I am thinking as well. He should be fully healed and cleared to play by then. You want him to start knocking off that rust and getting into game shape.

1. Pretty sure you can't force anyone to not play for their country
2. Yes, of course.

I'm sure owners would love to change this.

I could only imagine the backlash.

 

[bigmike]

Yes. If his knee is structurally sound and he has no glaring imbalances, get him out there as soon as possible.

Well he in on schedule to take contact in June and the Australian NT starts in June...

So long as he's healthy he should play. He'd benefit(and the Jazz) from some burn before summer league.

I'd be shocked if Exum played in Summer League.

Yes to SL. No to NT.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Yes to SL. No to NT.

Does the Aussie NT even want him right now, given that he hasn't played in a year?

I think they will take whoever they can get their hands on.

 

[VINYLONE]

Do the Jazz have any power to not let him play? If not, the thread is moot.

It's not as I am asking for opinions on it. While they cannot forbid him then can certainly apply a lot of pressure.

Thanks for letting us know your official position is that you have no official position.

Last year I didn't want him to and he got hurt. This year he's rehabbing and I want him to, to get back in the flow of the game, get in game shape, etc.

I think a player should be able to do whatever he wants to do during the off season unless it is forbidden in his contract.

Yes Though if Jennifer Lopez can insure her butt then the Jazz should insure Exum's left & right ACL & MCL.
