Anyone who has declared Exum to be a bust needs to hang their head in shame.

really looking forward to hopefully him and George playing some together next year, i think they could be terrific, and curious to see how well that would work with George playing off the ball some of the time.

I hope that regardless of whatever plans Hayward has in free agency he invites Exum to train with him this Summer. All summer.

I'm just so glad that he's finally bucking up and playing with some chutzpah. I've always said his issues were primarily mental even in the face of all the "he's a bust" people. But I have to admit there've been times that I wondered if he really had it in him. So happy to now say that I was wrong to question his backbone. Kid's gonna be alright. He looked damn good on both sides of the ball tonight.
 
When Exum doesnt settle for the very first open 3 the defense gives him, he he can be an alright player.
 
I'm like 99% sure Dante got laid... clearly he became a man at some point in the last week.

Impressive stuff from him even his misses looked decisive and like real basketball shots.

He still can't shoot for **** and he was playing against a horrible defense tonight. He's got a long ways to go if he wants to be a star.

I agree but tonight the speed and explosiveness actually translated into real basketball moves and shots that looked like basketball shots and went in. That is the upside component I've been hoping to see. I've been a doubter for sure... hope he makes me look completely foolish.

The defense does have to be factored in a bit here lillard, McCollum, and bigs like Meyers Leonard are pretty awful on that end.

Or stand around and do nothing. He's looked like a deer in the headlights for so long it was depressing for ambitious fans that had envisioned the next Kobe. But in all fairness, his road would have been daunting for anybody and he's still just a college aged kid.

Yeah it's nice to see him dunk as opposed to having a seizure.

Doesn't have to be a star to be productive. We've already got a couple of stars, I'm satisfied with good role player.
 
Joe Johnson and his old man ISO game is going to be fun come playoff time. Nice to have that off the bench at either the 3 or small ball 4.
