Start Dante for Rubio

MVP said:
Dante is quick, but do not try to sell his athleticism. He is average athlete at best, weak and with beyond average vertical jumping ability.

Is this the hill you really want to 'die' on?

ps - Always thought his vertical was unimpressive - but the eye test is telling me it has improved??

Ill Ignore the Embiid attempt because it obviously messed with his timing but I agree, In Dantes 1st good stretch at the start of the season I noticed that he looked more explosive vertically.

I actually went back earlier in the year and watch his youth tapes. Dante had far more bounce back then and a much smoother looking jumper. Im not 100% sold he completely trusts his body yet.

Exum is average athletically when compared with other guys in the NBA. DM is the superior athlete. Exum has unique athletic attributes.

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.
 
Debes estar auténticamente cegado por la pasión desordenada si realmente crees que Rubio es un jugador peor que Dante Exum. El australiano ni siquiera alcanza la suela de los zapatos, objetivamente hablando.

To me the most explosive Exum has ever looked in his time in the NBA was during his 3rd season after the ASB where both him and Hayward decided they wanted to dunk on everyone for a bunch of games.

edit: 2nd/3rd season, whatever you want to call the season after his ACL tear

So who's a better athlete than Dante? Go on tell us

It’s easy. Best overal athlete on the Jazz by mile is Donovan and nobody is even close. Second is Royce, then Crowder, then Rudy, and finally Thabo ( he is a bit limited coming of knee surgery but lately I can see him regaining his speed and strength). While I would say Dante is either 2d or 3d fastest on our roster he is at the bottom in strength and endurance and is somewhere in the middle of explosiveness, thus overal rating in athleticism puts him right in the middle at nr.6.

Lololol. 2nd or 3rd fastest ?? What drugs are you taking. And I don’t want to hear about the combine numbers. Korver just said the other day he’s rarely seen a player get to the rim so easily in all his years. Locke had said he wins sprints at training camp by miles

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.

ps. He is the fastest guy (combine data be damned).

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.

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

That's crap Sandman.

ElanProdigy is not a blind Exum stan. You have heard of exaggeration? He even states he thinks Exum is pretty limited vertically.

It's not crap when guys who are saying stuff like that about Exum after a few good games are also the guys who will immediately jump to Exum's defense when someone else makes a dumb statement or exaggeration hating on Exum. You can't have it both ways.

It's seemingly more and more like the reason to me why Jazzfanz is so bipolar on Exum, because everyone is completly overexaggerating either his pros or his cons almost constantly and it's hard for people to work out where everyone really stands when it comes to Exum.

Blind freddy can see clearly what you feel the need to articulate. Go to other sites like SLC dunk or twitter and you will see the exact same thing. It's not unique to Jazzfanz.

What I am saying is Elanprodigy isn't one of those guys you are referring to.
