With the Fifth Pick... Dante Exum

Really like the potential line up of

Exum
Burks
Hayward
Favors
Kanter

Hayward will have to shoot better though. Or even sub Hood in for his shooting. So exciting, can't wait to see some summer league action!

I just wonder if he was putting up decent high school numbers in the u.s.a. (like burks did) if he would be as highly thought of

Its not just about the numbers though because some kids play in low talent areas, Thats how BJ Mullens became the #1 Player in the class of '08.

How these top players matchup in camps means alot, scouts are watching. Thats usually how the big moves happen.

Dante didnt avoid that process, he was one of the big winners from it.

Dante KILLED IT at the Adidas Nations camp summer of 2012 In LA, at 6'4. Adidas is the one who signed him to a shoe deal. Heres some footage from that camp

Rip Van YB, waking up from his long sleep.
Damn Jazz have now made it IMPOSSIBLE for me not to renew my League Pass subscription. Which means more hours in front of the TV, with the disapproving wife complaining about me not spending more time with her or at least more time on housework. I'm gonna blame DL when those divorce proceedings begin.

Mate same here its all DLs fault-LOL:cool:

Right, HS numbers like he asked for. I am encouraged by the number of FTs against those HS kids though. Not real encouraged by the 60% ft shooting, but the ability to get there is what matters most. He and AB could be a lethal attacking backcourt.

You don't seem to get it. Those aren't just HS numbers. They're numbers against top, elite players. Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart, Elfrid Payton, Jahlil Okafor, Dario Saric, etc.

Do you have exums regular high schools stats

I would much rather see them.

I thought I heard that the region he played in didn't track stats. I wish I could find that.

Ive really looked hard for his HS stats for months now... they are tough to find, I have 2 boxscores from HS games posted in the game footage thread. One of those games i have the Video posted, he got 15 assists that game.

I know he was dropping triple doubles vs that type of competition.

Yeah the stats I found were from the end of the season tournament between the top states/territories in Australia, I doubt his regular season stats are anywhere on the internet. I think I remember seeing some of his stats from the previous years ASC tournament too when I was looking. It was a major pain in the *** clicking around the ASC website to find though, dont think ill be doing it again :p

Well im glad you found some games with 15 assists and triple doubles and stuff.
Makes me feel better for sure.

I have never been this torn on a draft pick before. Usually i love em or hate em and once in a while feel meh about em. With exum i know so little of him and we had to tank to get him in a really deep/good draft.

I really hope he works out. If he busts it will be one of the worst picks in jazz history.

Im glad most people are really excited about him and the experts really like him.

Fwiw i thought it was the right pick and still do.... but only because of what the experts were saying. When i see highlights i see leandro barbosa (like somebody else said) alot more than westbrook or penny hardaway
 
I think Exum will be great
The track record for sons of professional BB players is excellent
They all seem to be very smart and good character kids.

This guy is really raw. All he ever does is dunk and shoot 3s. He doesn't look like he has many moves, that great of handle, or multiple gears. He basically just runs as fast as he can and jumps as high as he can.

Is it possible he was a bigger d bag in high school than in the pros? :0

I'm from Pennsylvania and Kobe's team played our local Catholic High School team for the State Championship. At the time the star for Cathedral Prep was Julian Blanks (he played for La Salle and then played in Europe).

Julian SHUT OUT Kobe in the first quarter and Kobe only had 8 points in the half and 17 in the game:

I think Kobe averaged 31 during the season. Cool article.
 
Totally looks like Penny Hardaway to me. If he gets some of Penny's moves (and I suspect he will), he's gonna be impossible to stop.
 
Still can't believe we got this kid. Star potential.

Magic fans are pretty much losing it. On bleacher report articles, Orlando sentinel articles and realgm they are pretty pissed. There's a few that have talked themselves into it but for the most part big head scratcher.

Their core group can't shoot to save their lives. If you have other shooters it's okay if Gordon can't shoot but they have none.

PG-Elfrid payton 25%?
SG-Victor Oladipo 32%
SF-Toby Harris 28%
PF/SF-Aaron Gordon 35%?
C-Nikola Vucevic 0%?

Nightmare

How did he do against those kids in bold?

Unfortunately, Exum only played 11 minutes against the US. I'd guess (having not looked for any reports) that the Aussie coaches chose to rest him for later games when it became clear that their team was going to get blown out.

Exum had 7 points on 1-1 from 2, 1-2 from 3 and 2-4 from the line. 2 boards, 4 turnovers.
