Has anyone not been saying this.

I think every single jazz fan (or any fan of any team) would like guys to hit shots from the outside

Lol at all the Magic fans going with Elfrid. If the Magic would have drafted Exum they'd be all over the Exum bandwagon.

Yeah. It's been pretty entertaining seeing the way they reacted after it all. Almost their whole board wanted Exum predraft. When he wasn't taken I saw most of em raging.

Now they spend all of their time cutting Exum down and criticizing him for everything and marginalizing anything he does well. Almost all of them call him an overrated overhyped diva now lol.

They also rage out when Exum gets praise on the general board

There was a gif of Exum doing that sweet dribble where that guy fell down. A magic fan came out and said "he only fell cus Gobert tripped him" lol.

It's also funny to hear people praise Smart and then put down Exum because of his shooting.
 
This is the link to their thread discussing Exum up through the draft. I'd say about 80% wanted Exum. Some of them have done a complete 180 now and like I said have to cut Exum down.

The poster "OrlandO" might be the most entertaining. He talked about how much he loved Exum and thought he could be great and was excited about him. Now that he's not a magic he gets so angry about people praising Exum and is one of the guys that calls Exum a diva. Rather funny.

How can Burke space the floor? He's a 38%/33% shooter. That's TERRIBLE! Only thing that's ever been proven is he can space the floor in the last 5 minutes of a game when his stats have miraculously been a lot higher (which means he sucks even worse the first 3 1/2 quarters).

Burke can't "run" an NBA team but he can "walk" one. He'll be the starter, but the sooner the team can be turned over to Exum, the better. Burke is a slow, poor-shooting, weak-defending small PG who doesn't get to the rim very often. And the fact he does have 3 more years experience than Dante (2 college + 1 NBA) makes me even LESS hopeful. After all that time and an embarrassing SL last year, you'd think he'd work extra on his shooting. Apparently not. He comes back against rookies and scrubs and shoots 30%/14%. Not a good sign.

Yup. "Must spread rep"

People keep acting like Burke has some special skill that Exum doesn't have. If it's shooting, then it's only by 2-3%. Judging from SL, Exum's court vision is much better than Burke's, and his slashing speed makes him far more lethal on kick-outs to spot-up shooters. Exum also runs the P&R and P&P better than Burke. Playing Burke means same-o, same-o for Favors, Kanter, and Hayward. Playing Exum means those 3 should show dramatic improvement in their offense.

Burke gets into the lane more than people give him credit for. He didn't average 5.7 assists as a rookie (better than rookie DWill) passing it around the perimeter. Burke finished at least two or three shots this summer league through contact which he couldn't do last year. His jump shot was off, but for a 90% free throw shooter to not become a great shooter would be an almost unprecedented anomaly.
