That's why I added: I don't mock handicapped ppl. You shouldn't respond with rudeness to my understanding side.

agreed.
the only thing on the video that i saw that would make me think it was an ankle was the way Exum reacted AFTERWARD. (and that might just have been an act to avoid embarrassment)
Just looking at the play, i dont see his ankle "roll".... looks like he just didn't get any lift.
I have extensive experience with ankle injuries. I broke both of my ankles 2 times and have had numerous sprains. I dont see his ankle turn in the video. (maybe im watching the video on too small of a screen to see it though)

Just once I would like to see Exum play with people who know how to set a damn screen. Seems like he does a lot of needless running around when all he needs it just a solid pick in order to get him straight to the basket. It would lessen his energy expended too. To be fair though, I have seen someone half-heartedly attempt to set a pick and Exum act like he didn't know what to do with it. This is definitely an area where a little bit of work will have a large effect on his offensive game.
That's it? Maybe you were right to use the word highlight in the singular form.
Watching Dante move is pretty damn sweet but to me it looks like he is going to get injured unless he puts on some weight. His shooting form looks pretty bad, too, especially on that first three attempt.

A recurring theme on this website is that Exum's conditioning is poor because he clutches his jersey during game play. Check out the video at the 0:57 mark and at 3:54. I think it is just his mannerism and not a sign of poor conditioning. That isn't to say his conditioning is where it needs to be, but let's stop reading so much into the jersey clutching thing.
I was waiting for someone to bring this out......Watching Exum put his hands on his hips all the time ...you could see on or two of his team mates and a couple of players on the opposite teams doing the hands on their hips also......What does that mean ,their all out of condition like Exum ?
Some of these posters aren't even watching these games ,their still going off of last months SL games.Because all these same players putting their hands on their hips are running hard and playing hard when the clock is ticking....including Exum.
Exum is doing just fine playing as hard as all the other players and he still has 5 or 6 exhibition games before Fiba even starts.He should have at least ten more games.
Exum has been visibly gassed after 10-15 minutes of play in every game he's played since being drafted. Fact.

Could someone post Exum's per 36 averages for these games so far?
Both Australia and France play tomorrow vs Ukraine and Philippines respectively in Nice, France.
If my calculations are right - 13.6pt , 6.6ast, 3.1rb, 1.8st, 2.6to
Not bad. I think some of his problem in the second half of games relates to just a lack of variability in his game. He is quite good at a few things, but his game lacks diversity because he isn't a good shooter. He's going to have flashes this year, but overall probably not be a huge contributor.

Not too bad. Shooting percentages?
yah, it's not bad at all. Shooting is 45%FG, 33% 3pt... If he keeps those % against NBA competition in his first season I'd be elated!
He's only shot 3FT and made only 1. This is a bit worrisome. I expect him to go to the line much more.
