his stance is wider. Feet are still squared.

Yep, I couldn't pinpoint what exactly seemed different, but indeed, his base is wider... I don't know if he's going to shoot the same way in in-game situations.

I think he should.

I'm frm the Kyle Korver school on this issue (vs. JJ Redick): wider is better. This particularly true for players who play with speed: the wider stance helps establish balance in pull-up scenarios.

To bad there is no Pleiss, Neto, Ingles or Hanlan. Still a good roster though.

Ingles is having some time off to get married. He won't be playing for the Australian team either.

And our tanking worked, we got Wiggins! Well, his older bro, anyway.
 
From early on last year I could tell Dante would be ok in this league. Which is good, and bad news. Good that he isnt a total bust, but bad that I see no star potential
and anything that warrants the number 5 pick.
 
I view this season as being like a rookie year for Exum. Given that he turns 20 later this summer and never played even collegiate-level ball prior to last year, I think this year might be comparable to a rookie season for a one-and-done college player. It's also really difficult for rookie PGs as young as Exum to come into the league and do much of anything. I'd give him at least until the All Star break to start to show what he might be as a lead guard.

There are enough flashes of potential here to be optimistic. In some of these plays, he already looks like a quicker, more versatile Nic Batum on offense. I think he'll be a good pro.

It's important he raises that 3 PT accuracy. He is the player every defense will be cheating off on to help out on Hayward and Burks.

The thing that blew me away when I watched this was how often he was given the ball and he either had to shoot or create for the team with under 10 seconds left.

Watch it again and watch for that. You'll be amazed how often it happens.

Took me by surprise too. Probably 40 or more times in that highlight video including 4 or 5 shot clock beaters and a bunch of successful lobs at the last second.
 
Exum to Gobert. Such good chemistry on the court between the two young potential franchise players. Also surprised me how well Dante and Jingles play together. Good IQ from both those guys leads to making the right pass or play consistently. Future is so bright. These guys are only going to keep getting bigger, faster, stronger, smarter and more confident with experience and success.

Why would it surprise you that Dante and Jingles play well together? You're aware that they speak the same language, aren't you mate?
