Exum's Highlights from last night
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date
I love it at 0.24 where if it was Trey, he would have put up a 3 point shot, but Exum just kept passing it leading to an easy dunk down low.
Defensive potential at the PG position is off the charts also, that's the 2nd time in 4 games he's had a nice block leading to a fast break.

I'd say he almost has a longer way to go defensively than offensively right now, relying solely on his length and athleticism so far but I agree, the potential is definitely there.
Well Quin has already come out and said that he thought Exum's conditioning is improving and is able to stay on the court longer (and I think it is showing). Hopefully once his fitness is there the next thing would be adding more muscle to that frame, getting stronger & quicker.

Nice to see that on those first two plays (exum moving without the ball) there were very nice passes made by two players not known for thier passing (booker and burks)
Snyders system is starting to work and infect everyone (other than maybe kanter) with the obvious unselfishness style of play.
Boy, that first play, boy oh boy, haven't seen a Jazz guard do that in such a long time, within the offense, quick turn into space. Very very light on his feet. Looks like he's ice skating out there.
Intelligent. Immaculate. Unguardable.

Exum coming along just fine. Maybe by mid-season he's splitting time with Burke and DL can start shopping Trey.

Notice in the 1st play, even Quin Snyder lost track of the play. I love that sneaky in him, his bball IQ is very encouraging. You add a high bball IQ to his speed and athleticism and we've got ourselves something special in our hands here. Now to improve in conditioning and strength as I've read from someone previously and the dude's gonna turn heads nationwide. That drive to the hoop was sexy, the way he looks towards the opposite of the court but seeing the open lane out of the corner of his left eye, then decisively attacks the rim making Spencer Hawes look like an amateur. Just a glance of what's to come my friends, just a glance...

Lol, I see what you're into...
Exum is playing a lot better than i thought. All i wanted for him to show flashes of ability. He's done that and more. We all know the wall is coming, and hard, but he's given this doubter hope.

He is averaging the same amount of blocks per game as A.Gordon. Now i don't expect to see him to continue on with those numbers, i am expecting Mutumbo numbers

Yeah it's a nice surprise for sure!! Even if you compare Exum to Elfrid Payton who is touted as a defensive PG coming out of college, Exum is longer and quicker, sure he can be a bit more physical but he'll learn that.
Exum is also shooting it a lot better than both Payton and Gordon right now.
You reckon? But he's coming off the bench so I don't think it is as exhausting as other lottery picks starting and playing HUGE minutes... I dunno, I think he might be OK.

Really good point.
I think this reason more than anything will keep his role the same throughout the year. So far he has brought quite a bit of value in his short stints off the bench. I'm with the "his role is perfect" crowd.
