While it is still too early to know for sure, it is becoming increasingly evident that Lavine is going to be a big star and Dante no more than a solid starting PG, still pretty good but far from where Lavine is likely to end up. Time will tell. Maybe Dante has more competitive spirit in him than he has shown.

Lets be patient with Dante. A few days ago the kid was slicing up the defense for 12 assists everyone was singing his praises. Now we want him gone. This kind of bipolar behavior by a fanbase is exactly how you derail a young kids career.
 
Last night's game was telling when they put Myers Leonard on Exum. He is their worst defensive player who is slower than my dead grandma, and Exum couldn't take advantage of that. Yes, players can improve, but he has a huge amount to improve just to be an average pg.

To be an average offensive PG yes. He has a long way to go. I believe he can get there. Next year for Exum is going to be frustrating for Exum and fans also. I'm not really going to start judging him till the middle of his 3rd season. Because frankly I don't expect him to even be close till then.

I'd do it. But the Lakers probably wouldn't. Outside of Utah Jazz fans, I don't think anyone values Exum as a lottery pick anymore. He had the biggest bust potential in the draft and thus far he's living up to that. Just imagine how goof this team could be with a legit NBA PG. Part of the reason Hayward had been struggling is there was NO outside threat. Hood returning has helped, but Utah needs more than just a placeholder at PG.

Chatted with a couple of Suns fans and they seemed to think Exum/filler could nab us Bledsoe (admittedly not on a great deal), so I'd say some still value him as at least a mid lotto pick.

Of course they could have been wrong as hell, I really know nothing about what the Suns are doing with their lives right now.
 
lol @ comparisons to Nick Young, WARP stats, etc, in this thread. we were talking about a 19 year old.

Even now, LaVine has shown so many flashes of brilliance (while still having a long way to go - still a bit streaky, doesn't play much D, not much of a passer), it's easy to forget he will play almost this entire season at age 21. Nick Young is having his best season, yet LaVine already has a higher PER than Nick currently has or has ever had in his career. So much for Nick Young being his ceiling. lol
