Dante Exum Averages .2 Steals Per Game

Lol. Exum has been trash. I’m not particularly happy with Rubios play. But no one is even close to playing well enough to challenge him for the spot.

I wish someone was.

This is where I think you are disingenuous. Dude is one of the fastest players in the league. Like literally dude.

No he is not. He is not showing it in the games. Yesterday was perfect example. He had a head start with the ball infront of half court line. You think Westbrook, Wall or Shroeder would have let 3!!!! Lakers catch up to them and block that shot? No way, yet Exum being "one of the fastest" not only couldn't separate from them but could not even get the shot off.

You're an offense only kind of guy...amiright?
Josh Hart was 0/2 and basically was unable to touch the ball tonight you freakshow.

Exum is a good man defender, but that's the extent of his impact. He can play very good D on 1 player. He isn't Gobert, a guy who impacts everyone defensively. He impacts one guy. That's his value. Against some teams, like the Rockets, who really rely on one person to do everything, it's super useful.

His offense impacts the team in the half-court, in a negative way. If Exum isnt pushing pace for early baskets, then he sucks the life out of the offense.

Good, let him shut down Fox tomorrow. Have him bring the ball up and get it into Burks hands(or Donovan's).

Fox had 13 AST the other night. Maybe Dante can pester him into mistakes.

Another player who is faster than "fastest" Dante.

Last time against the Kings, Exum tried to run past Bagley for a layup (his only move), and Bagley had no problem staying with him and forcing him into one of his signature hail mary's.

The Jazz don't have a problem with other teams.

It's an internal problem.

Sure is. But since there's no sign of a turnaround we have to do something. At least Exum provides one aspect to his game that is really good so why not put him on Fox. It would be a good experiment, especially since we played them three nights ago.
 
Meh. I'm happy to watch Rubio get blown up again, for us to put up 85 and lose by 20... We need to hit rock bottom to force Quins hand, sooner the better.

Force his hand to what?

This is in DL's hands and his hands can't do anything until January 15th.

Any lineup they put out is going to be atrocious.

We are basically the same roster as last year. I'm not buying that we can't right this ship. Quin has been patient, as he should be, but I think it's time to tinker. He can always go back and at this point what is there to lose?
