Dante Exum Averages .2 Steals Per Game

****ing spare me. Exum blows. He could start with Jordan, Lebron, Duncan and Shaq and he’d still ****ing blow.

There are two types of people in this world:

GROUP A - Watch Exum blow by anyone (and everyone) to the rim, only to see him miss wide open layup/dunks - and conclude he is a bust.

GROUP B - Watch the same thing and believe he has accomplished 85% of the job and believe surely he can do the last bit in time...


GROUP A - Watch Exum on defense and think .... **** 0.2 steals per game lol
Group B - Watch Exum on defense and think ... **** how does he stay infront of his man all the time!

everyone sees all that. Being faster than everyone didn’t require 85% of the work, it requires being blessed with great athleticism and staying in shape. He’s had a lot of time to figure out how to do other things on the court. No one disagrees that he is a great one-on-one defender and excellent staying in front of his man, but he has no idea how to play a passing lanes or think a step ahead on defense or offense. He should watch some film and learn how to make winning plays before worrying about how to become the next all-star, and, in turn, might discover that they are not so mutually exclusive.
Everyone hopes he can lock in and focus on his strengths and ways he can help the team cuz everyone also agrees he has great potential.
 
Exum has been all hype since day one. Decent backup for sure, but the results haven't been good as the so called "hype".
I agree he hasn't lived up to the hype. Been injured to much. Hasn't been given enough chances when he has played. Quin has f##### with his head. All I say an athlete like that u have to give them a chance to prove what he's got. He's never had the chance. Quin would rather play the snail Rubio.........
 
nah ure right, dante exum is the best PG in the entire league... him being ranked 385 out of 430 in rpm is because of Snyder..you're right...YOU GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT.

Well the role you have when you play can affect advanced metrics. For example, Rob Covington is loved by RPM because he plays to his strengths. Exum basically is used as a change of pace guard who often gets to stand around and brick open perimeter shots. Also RPM still incorporates box score noise (like STEALS) so Exum is torched. Exum is not the 385th best player in the league. He is more likely in the top 275.

It’s tough, to say that he’s NEVER had the chance is a little overstated. He has started in 67 games and played 3500 minutes already in thus league. He’s started for nearly a whole season’s worth of games. The problem is that he was not very good in that role, averaging 5/2/2 on 33%/32%/67%. He curled into the fetal position and did nothing when handed the reigns the first time. Maybe quin is scarred from that now.

Actually he's more like Leandro Barbosa than Shaun Livingston. I don't want to say that's his ceiling since he could be better than Barbosa, especially defensively, but who knows if he'll ever be consistent enough to reach that ceiling.

Right now, he's in the same ballpark as Michael Carter-Williams.
I don't think you read my post. But that's okay- i do agree with most of what you said- excepting the part where you ignored what i typed.
