Exum extension

Exum will be 22 in less than a month. It honestly doesn't matter what his age is it's the fact he's now been in the NBA for 4 years (soon) and has averages of 5 points and 2 assists in 20 minutes? You think the Deng/Moz/Turner contracts are bad? You're talking about giving someone 10+ mill a year for someone that IS STATISTICALLY WORSE currently.
 
Yeah. You got it.

FO should only extend people based on their current production. If the FO extend Exum for 10-12 mill/year, do you think they would be expecting 6 points and 2 rebounds?

You're a genius.

I guess we better lock up Trey Burke again. Since he's doing better @ 5 points per game and 2 assists IN 10 MINUTES OF PLAY compared to 20 MINUTES OF PLAY for exum. You go off potential value right? Well Burke has potential to give you double the production in double the amount of playing time. You think anyone is stupid enough to give him 10+ mill a year?
 
I've said this repeatedly, but I'll do it again. NBA point guards typically experience the most explosive growth between the second and third year of their NBA career. It's likely that Jazz fans expect a quicker timeline because our last marquee point guard draftee, Deron Williams, had his major jump between year one and year two. It's important to note, however, that Deron's earlier jump is highly irregular when compared with the majority of NBA point guards. It is by far the most difficult position in the NBA to learn, due to the leadership requirements on offense and the mental precision that is needed.

Because Exum missed a year with the ACL, we can hope for this growth to occur going into next year, though it might be slightly delayed given the lack of continuity between his first year and his second (technically his third, since we aren't counting the ACL year.)

TLDR: next year we'll have a much better idea of who Exum is going to be as a player. My gut tells me he's about to make a gigantic leap.
 
I don't get why Exum is even being discussed right now. Either he gets better this year and gets paid or he doesn't. Simple stuff.
