Start Dante for Rubio

[LoPo]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Yep. Why can't we all just root for this Exum kid? He plays for the team we all supposedly love and our front office just re-signed him for 3 years.

Happy New Year everybody.

Being a very small individual who has played a lot of basketball, I can tell you the most important reason I was able to compete is that I was super quick. It had nothing to do with verticality. On my best days in my 20s I could get maybe about three inches from the rim. But it was my first step and speed, and quick reflexes that enabled me to outplay guys a foot taller than me. This is what Dante possesses, but not only this, he has the length which is a big asset on defense.

Lmao. Rewatch it please and delete it before everybody tears you a new one

I'm starting to get why people here irrationally hate Exum now, completely delusional if you genuinely think Exum's forehead was above the rim like he's Gerald Green or something

Lol. I was exaggerating a little but I went and rewatched it to see if there was another camera angle.

There wasnt.

Vertically Donovan can jump higher. To say Dante is average is a absolute joke. He's jump is good. The speed of the his jump is extremely good to. Some people can jump high but the speed of the jump isn't good. Donovan is stronger and jumps higher. Dante is faster in every way.

You are an idiot. Exums vertical is beyond average by any metric. And no, Dante is not faster than Donovan.

 

[MVP]

Lololol. 2nd or 3rd fastest ?? What drugs are you taking. Locke had said he wins sprints at training camp by miles

So we should trust Locke over combine numbers and our own eye test? I see Donovan or Royce on fast break and they look much faster than Dante to me. Plus we have 3/4 court sprint numbers were Donovan beats Exum by .18 sec. In sprint its like blowing somebody in basketball by 30 pts

 

[MVP]

Crowder is not a better athlete than Rudy c'mon now, dude can barely get off the ground and for as strong as he is Gobert is a strong *** dude too. I'm not even sure Crowder's endurance is better than Gobert's.

Rudy and Crowder verticals are about the same. Crowder is stronger and faster though.

My eye test tells me, Dante has a quicker first step which is why he blows by people so easily. Donovan is shiftier and craftier and on the full court sprint he may beat Dante.

And I somehow forgot about Grayson who is overal better athlete than Exum as well.

Not only he would beat him but it would not be even close

 

[MVP]

This is an interesting take.
If endurance and strength are key features of athleticism, then I can now see what you have been saying all this time.
.

I say you look at explosiveness, endurance, strenght, quickness and coordination as key features defining athlete in basketball. While Exum has great quickness he is average in explosiveness and endurance and ranks poorly in strength and coordination. Thus overal average ranking as athlete.

 

[Jazzta]

I find it more pleasant to root for both X and RR to have a good game and for the Jazz to win.

You could line up every player in the NBA and have them race and if Dante came in first place MVP would still be like "but those combine numbers doe"

Everyone defines athleticism differently.

 

[Miggs]

endurance, strength

Kanter would be an elite athlete if these were the only considerations.

We both know he would not be even in top 10.

Correct. That's what Exum homers only want to see - speed and lateral quickness while completely ignoring other parts of athleticism.

I would love to hear your definition.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Man, I'm critical of Exum but MVP is just stupid.

says coward who never admits he is wrong even when presented with undeniable evidence. How about that Mitchell dunk of one foot which never happened according to you. I must have created fake video right?

If he was it wouldn't change your opinion
