I don't even care about this topic, but your response gon' make me do it. First off, did you watch Arroyo play? Do you remember? Because I do. This guy was absolute garbage. He had a 10 year career and nobody wanted him. This was during one of the most watered down era's of the NBA. Your saying Exum would be no improvement? You've lost it. You have me and everyone on here old enough to remember those days wondering what you got lodged in your head to block your brain from working.

He has a fierce hatred for Dante. So fierce that all logic, or any logic has evacuated his mind.

You are an idiot. Of course I watched that season, one of the most fun season to watch in Jazz history since Stockton and Malone retired. In 2003-2004 Arroyo averaged 12.6 pts and 5 ast. His handles, mid range game, shooting and ability to run offense was miles ahead of where Exum is now. The only thing Exum has over Arroyo is length and man to man defense. Otherwise do not even start comparing them.

Arroyo played over 28 minutes per game to get his pedestrian numbers. He had some exciting moments, but when you play 28mpg over 71 games, you are bound to have a few.

Arroyo had flashes of solid. Exum has had flashes of brilliance. In those early 2000 years, we would have definitely taken a chance on a guy like Exum.

You guys are blind. Exum has had nothing even close to brilliance. Seriously, stop being so delusional.

Wait, it couldnt be because Rubio played few minutes and that Nurkic went for 17 pts in the 3rd quarter. It has to be because we missed Bambi. Got it

While the game was very compromised in the first 5 minutes, I think it's possible that Exum could have been a big asset last night. He can actually guard guards.

This comment was about the Portland game 2 weeks ago. Sure, adding exum helps on defense, I've always thought he was an above average defender.

I think most of the fanbase have grown frustrated with Exum, for some fair and unfortunate reasons. That being said I personally don't think he will pan out and us drafting him so high has hindered us from reaching the next level.

You really said that 2003-2004 was one of the most fun seasons to watch in Jazz history since Stockton and Malone? A season which we finished as a 9th seed, not making the playoffs for the first time since 1984 ending a 20 year streak of making the playoffs. And you have been in awe for the last 15 years over that season and a point guard who in the best season of his career gave us 12 pts per game and 5 ast? He also averaged 28 minutes per game to achieve those weak stats, and shot 32% from deep, making .5 shots out of 1.6 attempts per game from deep. He also averaged 2.2 turnovers per game. He had a 4.4-10 turnover to assist ratio and your stating (and I quote) "I watched that season, one of the most fun season to watch in Jazz history since Stockton and Malone retired." And your calling me the idiot?? Please, stay in your lane Mario Andretti. THAT YEAR WAS THE FIRST TIME THE JAZZ HAD MISSED THE PLAYOFFS SINCE 1984!!! And I'm the idiot!!?? Pull your lip over your head and swallow.
And last but not least, I never started to compare them, you did that! I am simply stepping in with the baby powder and a back hand pimp slap that you have coming your direction, all because I see a trick stepping out of line. Pick your face up off the floor.

As an overall defender Royce is better and it's not even close.

O'Neal recognizes and executes switches on D as well as any player in the league.

I don't think it's fair to knock Dante on switches when he's the only guy on the team who has the lateral quickness and awareness to consistently get over picks which allows Gobert to stay home in the paint more often, where is exactly where you want him defensively. Dante's glaring weakness on defense is off the ball and I think Royce is a better defender for the team because of that, but saying Royce is a better defender because he switches well when Exum doesn't even need the switch 90% of the time isn't the best example.

That was the year ESPN declared the Jazz will challenge the record for lowest win total ( 9). And Jerry's kids came 1 game short of making playoffs and finished with winning record of 42-40. Yes, it was one of the most fun season to watch - bunch of underdogs beating the crap out of some contenders. If you did not like it, well, nothing I can do about it. To each it's own.

Please post Exum's stats, then go look again at advanced stats, compare to Arroyo and go and hide before I rip you a new one.
