He does some things that when you see them all together like that make you think he could be really good someday. His passing ability is great and as he fleshes out his drive game it will only open up more passing lanes. Add in a 35%+ 3p shot someday and look out.

I don't think I've ever been more anxious to see a players year 2 jump than his.

Yeah, I just hope Jazz fans keep their expectations realistic. It might still be a year or two before he starts to put it all together. Hopefully he'll improve enough that we'll stop hearing some of the silly comments we heard last year that completely ignore the defensive end of the court, and the trade comments. Exum ain't goin' nowhere.
 
I think at worst Exum is going to be a solid player for us. I don't know if he'll ever reach his potential, but I'll be rooting for him!

Amazing how easily he can get into the lane, just can't do a whole lot yet with it yet except pass.

Sometimes it reminds me of Gordon Hayward's early years. He would beat his guy and get into the lane. Then the defense would do something he didn't expect and he would put up a terrible shot or get a turnover trying to force a pass.
 
Dude just needs some balls. Like serious balls of fire. Way way way too many times I watched him look at an open lane to the hoop, maybe just a stutter step or cross over to get by his guy and a burst of speed, which we know he has, to get to the rim, and he always passed it up to drop the ball off to someone at the top of the key or something. Good hell man, go after it! Get in there! Posterize any poor SOB that gets in your way. That change alone will kick him to another level.
 
Great video
 
some minor notes on the highlight vid:

*not surprised that Enes Kanter doesn't feature. I mean, he's on the floor a few times (as teammate and as opponent), but he does not feature as a leavening ingredient for any highlight.
*Trevor Booker has an underrated feel for the game. He makes some great passes on this tape.
* ****ing love the chemistry that Rudy and Dante have already developed. That's got to be on everybody's THANK GOD list.
 
I like what dennis said "when his strength and physicality match his size, we will see something special"
