No lets stick our head in the ground ........I brought up Exum shooting 45% of ALL his shots from 3 pt territory whereas 3 other young PG's of similar age shooting only 25% of their shots from 3 pt land.IF you watch the games you know Exum isn't going to be successful shooting half his shots from 3. Again why would he want to lose money playing behind GHill for 3 or 4 yrs if Hill is signed and he has to sacrifice his explosive 1st step to stand around at the 3 pt line shooting 3's he can't make.

I'm pretty sure Exum would be playing if his defense was up to par. He was far better as a defender as a rookie than he is now. I have no idea why. His defense, not his offense is keeping him off of the floor. His defense not his offense won him the job as a rookie. I don't know if it's a result of his knee injury or his confidence in the knee but simply put his defense has been unacceptable this season.

Keep in mind I was one of his biggest defenders, and I still have high hopes for him. But his defense must get better if he wants to play. Frankly Neto and Burks have both been better defensively than Exum this year.

I knew putting a Exum post was going to be close to 2/3 anti Exum to 1/3 still believe he can and will help the Jazz .But this is kinda of my point,with the trade deadline coming up fast Exum has to look out for himself 1st financially.If he's continuously in Snyders doghouse and everyone wants GHill to be signed for 3/4 yrs what's his incentive to want to play in Utah? Almost every team in the NBA is scoring more points and the best teams score the most points.Only Jazz play defense as the way to win and the next two best teams holding teams down in points (Memphis and San Antonio) beat Utah at it's own game.
Exum is getting a lot healthier and getting less and less minutes,he's got to be looking at the possibility that his game is more open court as the League is trending than what's happening to him in Utah.

is there a more clueless poster on JFC right now?

Dante may or may not work out I just don't think the time has come to know one way or the other. I think Dante asking for a way out would hurt him more than just working hard now and improving on his deficiencies in the offseason with good health.

clearly this
 
Exum has head trauma. We saw it with Rod's slump last year: everything was there physically; just no focus and follow-through. Exum is brain damaged in a worse way right now, though. Young kid going through some growing pains as a person.

We're going to have to be patient. Very patient. Kid is barreling toward BUST status.
 
The thing that worries me about Exum is that he doesn't seem to have a very high basketball IQ. He is still young and learning, but he just seems so lost most of the time.
 
guis!, Exum should learn from Kanter's situation and force his way out! Remember Kanter, who could see the writing on the wall and know he was gonna be a benchie, and then got himself traded to a team that will probably be behind us in the standings for the foreseeable future... where he's coming off the bench??? Dante gonna learn.
 
A lot of Burke comparisons.

Exum really sucks. But his physical profile is elite. You have to give him a shot every time. In some ways its a positive. Gonna get him cheap on his next contract. I still see him as a Devin Harris type at worst.

I actually like his IQ. Those nifty little dump off passes around the hoop are pretty nice. I think he sees the pick and roll pretty well too. The problem to me looks like hes so unconfident. He is terrified to try anything. I think if healthy he would have developed some skills like shooting off the dribble. But instead hes spending this year learning how to run and stop and jump and react etc. It's crazy how remedial the stuff he has to relearn is. Poor guy. But still, I get you. I think he really sucks this year too.

Fact is, you won't change anyone's opinion in a forum... Those who have given up on Dante will only see the bad and those who believe in him with think he's hard done by. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Dante won't be looking to exit IMO. I think he's made of better stuff than most people around here give him credit for.

What really puzzles me is the decisive judgements being made while he is coming off an ACL...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Peace out.

Talked to Dante Exum about his aggression tonight. He basically said he didn't have much to lose by going to the basket on every touch

Their could be alot read into that statement "he didn't have much to lose by going to the basket on every touch" ,seems a indirect shot at the coach.

Take away Dante's 4 (3pter's) and he attacked the basket 8 times and got 3 assists where he could easily have doubled that if his team mates made their shots.All caused by a aggressive 1st step.
 
Now idiot Noa$,here it is ,other than his missed 3 pters last nite Dante attacked all night creating his pts and numerous easy shots for his team mates.This Is His Game.Not sure he had more confidence but he told TJones he had nothing to lose by going to the basket every touch.

By the way your personal attacks show a sissy wimp behind a computer,try sticking to basketball debate.You don't have to like a comment but veering away from that shows small stature.

Dante played too fast at times and made some bad decisions in the last game

Actually it just seems like you have a very irrational hatred for Quin.

He has fairly high bball IQ. This was evident even in the first 10 games he ever played as a rookie. For instance last game he missed a wide open three, the ball bounced back to him and found himself again wide open from 3. Instead of shooting it he zipped it to an open man under the basket for an uncontested layup. 9/10 NBA players would have been oblivious to that and shot it again. Guess it depends how much you factor "vision" into basketball IQ.

The one i thought illustrated this was when he got the ball way open in the first half i think, could easily have taken the shot but passed it on to Jingles for an even better shot
