Jazz players at the World Cup

How so? He is not the star of that team and is mostly an afterthought. If you watched SL the Jazz were clearly better with him on the floor. This board needs a life time supply of maxi pads.

Sorry for expecting more from Exum against a bunch of guys that will never see a NBA floor.

Look who he is playing in this game for example though. It's inexcusable to be 0-1 against this Ukrainian team. I get it he is young but is he not the most talented player on the court right now?

He scored 14 in 19 minutes against this same Ukranian team a week ago. It's not even as much about the opposition. Just in general inconsistencies are to be expected.

I'm fine with and expect inconsistencies against NBA talent, but I don't think it's too much to ask of Exum to at least SCORE on this Ukrainian team.

As I say that he gets himself open and hits a 3 and drives in on a fast break for a layup of course

I see what you are saying but relax a little. Kid is 19 and will have brilliant games then a game that leaves us wondering what the hell we just witnessed. He has a lot to learn and skills to refine.
 
I'll admit I am being harsh. I understand he is young and his game is in early stages of development. But, I do think he should and could just dominate this team any day which is why I am frustrated.
 
For me the most worrisome thing is that he seems reluctant to be aggressive. Everything else is work in progress and I am willing to give him the time to develop his shot, his handle, his body, etc... but I think it is imperative that he shows aggression and willingness to attack from the very start.

Final statline for Dante: 4 pts(2/4FG), 3rb, 3ast, 2to in 18 minutes of play. Made some nice passes again, several of them weren't finished by his teammates.
Final statline for Motum: 11pts(5/11FG, 1/2 3pt, 2/2 FT), 5rb, 1to.

He's a little tentative because it is not his place to be the star of this team. He has actually played pretty well overall in these games, but it is not his role to be the alpha-dog scorer. If he's 25 and still looks like this, it will be a problem.

People seem to love the Kobe comparisons (which I find laughable, btw), but Kobe, even while inconsistent in his overall play as a young player, was always aggressive - it didn't matter if he was the best guy on the court, he always played like he thought he was the best. Not to mention, Kobe, was on a different planet in terms of explosiveness and ability to play above the rim.

Easy for these same jokers to **** on Exum every game while he learns a position (SG)he wont even play long term ,with the Aussies he has to play and defer to Dellavedova (Cleveland) who sucks in about his 4th game in a row.Same guys cry if the Aussies want to win they got to go with the experience ,experience wins ...BS ..talent wins.Other than Bayne ,starters did nothing

France vs Philippines is about to start:
https://www.fibalivestats.com/matches/3886/12/44/80/55UVbxRE8GDg/

1st Quarter:
Gobert starts off the bench. Diaw is back for France and looks heavy. Gobert is the only one on the French roster who didn't get minutes in the first quarter. Seems like he's going to start the second one...
2nd Quarter:
Gobert starts.
Sweet move off the pick and roll for Gobert. Slams it!
Gobert sets very nice picks.
Gives up and-1 in D.
Gobert out.
3d Quarter:
Gobert is on the bench... The Philippines are killing France from 3. 10/20 so far.
Gobert didn't play in 3d quarter.
4th Quarter:
Doesn't start the 4th either.
France wins. Gobert didn't play in 4th Q.

Yah, this is what I foresee will happen with Burke with the Jazz too. It's also what he did in SL.


I really wanna see him going in there as the main PG and being asked to carry his team from the get-go. I do believe he will be much more aggressive when his role is that clear cut.

Hayward looks ****ing jacked in this picture. Makes The Manimal look small.

Uh...anything else happen in this game with Gobert?

Not much happened. He played for about 6 minutes in the second quarter and that was it. He set some pretty nice screens, he made a nice fake move after a pick and roll and jammed it two handed, other than that pretty uneventful 6 mins.
