Kanter looked pretty ****ty, people were just convinced he had potential because no one wanted to face the truth.

Agree to disagree

Yup. Kind of like kanter when he came into the league...... except kanter looked better in his rookie year imo

Yeah but to be honest Kanter plateaued pretty early and hasn't improved THAT much since then. With Exum it's pretty near impossible for him to improve at least 2 folds in a couple of years.

I don't understand your post.

It's possible that exum plateaued in high school. Or in summer league. Or in pre-season. No one knows yet...

It's also possible that kanter will still get better. No one knows.

What we do know is that kanter and exum both came to the jazz from overseas, with alot of hype and with no college experience and both very young. (Kanter was even younger than exum iirc) that is all I was commenting on
 
Difference between Kanter and Exum is that Kanter still sucks at the same **** he sucked at when he was 17.

Exum sucks at stuff he was really good at, so that suggest he is just having trouble at adjusting to the competition level, which is understandable.

Kanter sucks dick at certain skills at the NBA because that part of his brain doesn't work.

The question is, was exum ever really that good at the stuff he was supposedly good at or was playing against Australian high schoolers making him look good at it.

Kanter played **** *** prep school ballers (really low competition level even for USA) in the USA and was still noted as being a lazy *** defender.

He was also noted for not being able to pass in Prep School, still can't ****ing pass.

Super cool also

If Winslow is sucking this much D at shooting for the rest of the year I would be worried, might just be a small slump, his overall % are still solid.

Eh, he's pretty bad, .512 TS is awful (Hood was .590 at Duke last year). Winslow's numbers are very similar to Archie Goodwin's at Kentucky, who is now hoisting bricks in D league. I'm not sure how Winslow scores in the NBA.
 
Exum had a bunch of skills that he was supposedly very good at before the draft. Now those skills have vanished.

I was asking if maybe playing against high school aussies made those skills exist
 
Exum was drafted largely on potential though, he was never going to be very good from day 1.


Having said that, he seems to lack a bit of a 'fighter' attitude. A mix of Burke & Exum would be a perfect player.

My point wasn't that those Lakers' players could lure him. It was that Pelinka obviously has a very strong relationship with the team. That coupled with Exum's pre-draft comments about the Lakers and known affiliation with Kobe should concern fans. At least a little.

If Utah is as good as they should be by the time Exum is a UFA, losing Exum shouldn't be a huge concern. However, anytime Utah is in a position where they aren't a winning team, they need to be proactive with ALL important assets, as far as moving them to avoid losing them for nothing. I'm not any more concerned about Exum than anybody else, really. If we suck and there's the slightest doubt of retaining a player, trade them to be on the safe side. We can't afford to lose valuable assets due to living in denial about our ability to retain players.
 
I know this will never happen but I love theorycrafting a team together. I'm thinking how sweet it would be if we picked up Porzingis and had this lineup

______/Exum
Burks/______
Hayward/Hood
Favors/Porzingis
Gobert/Kanter

Going to next year

Exum/Veteran PG
Hayward/Burks/Hood
Durant/______/Hood
Favors/Porzingis
Gobert/Kanter

Durant is a stretch but just imagine the length of that lineup and offensive potential off the bench. Yes I have an imagination.

I still have Kanter in there but a SF would be preferable
