Exum's Second NBA Game

The Jordan and Kobe comparisons are horrible. Come on people.

Go buy a lotto ticket! You could become a millionaire!
 
jordan had went to college for what...3-4 yrs? he came in quite well groomed to play ball.

Jordan also has like 8inches on his vertical over exum.

exum is probably going to have the same fate as enes kanter.

I'm with you, but I do see Exum becoming something great. If he can form a reliable jumpshot, this kid is going to be special.

Jordan played 3 seasons at North Carolina he was born in '63 so he was 21 in this game.

Agree, Even IF EXum becomes a GREAT player, he is still incredibly raw.We need to be patient. Even the great Kobe Bryant had two pretty unspectacular seasons to start his career, averaging 7.6 and then 15.4 pts/per - and he wasn't having to run the offense.

Exum is going to struggle - a LOT - as a rookie. But we'll see glimpses of his incredible speed. And he's in the hands of a coaching staff dedicated to player development. I think we drafted a couple of players that have a good chance of sticking with the Jazz for a LONG time.
 
The one thing that this kid has more of than anyone in this draft is confidence. His confidence level is incredibly high, especially when you consider how young he is. He will not fail. Lets not forget his top-tier quickness, and ability to get where he wants on the floor with ease.. I think that's a trait not many players in the league hold. You give a guy like that a consistent jumper? Unstoppable.
 
Some people need to temper their expectations. Exum is not MJ nor will he ever be MJ. The meltdown on this board is going to be hard and fast if those are the expectation for this kid. Remember he is just out of high school and is a month away from being 19 years old.
 
Y'all don't understand...,


Exum is the Jit!!!


If he played in college this year he would be the consensus #1 pick!!!


Why you think Cavs were trying to get him in for a workout so late!!!

His Dad played with Jordan, Worthy!!

Australia is a great Basketball country!!

He has been part if the Australian Basketball Program since he was 15, eating and drinking Basketball 24/7!!!

His dad played in the NBA... It's a fact that NBA children play better much better than their fathers in the NBA!!!

He is the Fastest player 6'4" or taller in the NBA the minute he steps on the court in October!!
 
I don't see him as a Kobe or Jordan.

Jordan had a 48 inch vertical jump.

Kobe had a 38 inch vertical.

Kobe has a great fade away shot. I haven't seen any videos of Exum with a strong fade away jump shot.

I see Exum as more of a tall Tony Parker. Quick first step and great finisher around the basket. A little bit of Parker's game and a little bit of Ginobili's game. Guys who great at going through traffic. Exum isn't a high flyer. He is crafty and quick.

Exum only had a 34.5 vertical. Which is the exact same as Hayward's.

Don't put these unrealistic expectations on the kid. He has a long way to go and needs to get stronger. But I think he will be effective his first year. but I think a tall Tony Parker is a better comparison then Kobe or Jordan.

I agree. His first couple of seasons his overall numbers don't really bother me. I just want to see glimpses of greatness in him, and the occasional 20/10/5 game or so.
