"but I'm fully recovered now."

Another Exum thread from you? Really?

What surprises me more is that people keep answering the OP.

you mean Gobert? Favors? Hood? if anybody has superstar potential is these guys - not Exum.

Gobert is so OVERRATED by people here. He looks like garbage in the Olympics. At some point yall Jazz fans just have to accept Favors is the player he is and LOL at Hood has star potential. Put down the juice dude

So you are saying Exum has better potential then those 3?

You can see Favors upside, he's not far from it.

Gobert is already close to defensive superstar

Could argue that Hood has a lot of upside, I think he will incrementally improve and his upside is AllStar, not superstar.

Exum has by far the greatest uncertainty and has superstar tools to really really improve. Who knows if he will, I think the range is between:
Downside = solid PG backup, great defense and adequate playmaking, below average shooter
Upside = first team All NBA, first team all Defense

Which is quite a span.

No way he will ever sniff anything close to All star or first team defense. In fact I will bet he won't be resigned after his rookie contract is over. Predicted that correctly for Kanter as well.

Different game. Based on Olympics Delavedova is the best point guard in the world.

You dont like it get the h*ll off....as long as Exum is part of the Jazz and the media is reporting on him ,he is in the discussion.

Go cry about KD leaving your OKC since you have his name as your Moniker ,now that's embarrassing.

First it was CJ has MJ potential, then it was Kanter is the next Shaq, then Burks was compared to Dwayne Wade, and now Exum has superstar potential.

This fanbase has an incredibly embarrassing talent evaluating ability. It's the main reason the organization has been able to sell a stinking load of **** for 2 decades straight. Unfortunately, now fans have resigned themselves to the concept that championship in Utah is not possible so they're hoping for mediocrity at best.

Exum needs to be sold high.

"Never" is a dangerous statement.

Interesting nonsequitur about his re-signing.

Exum has more potential than anyone on the roster. Elite athlete, elite measureables, already good on defense, we saw his shot improve throughout his rookie year, he can get to the rim whenever he wants. Nobody else on the roster touches his potential as an offensive AND defensive player. It just comes down to whether he reaches it or not. I'd put Gobert second on that list. Hood and Lyles on the next tier. Favors and Hayward are what they are at this point. Their potential has been reached, no significant improvements are coming.

Who the h*** made these comparisons? I legit never heard Kanter compared to Shaq one time. Or CJ compared to MJ. I've heard Burks referred to as Wade-like, but never actually compared to Wade. More importantly, what does any of that have to do with Exum? He DOES have superstar potential because he's a rare size/speed athlete that can be great on offense AND defense. And it's not just Jazz fans that think so.

All Exum has is size and speed. His shooting and stamina is poor, explosiveness is average, he is injury prone and most important thing he is too soft mentally.. ( or lets say he has no balls). I said his ceiling is Shaun Livingston and he has done nothing to prove me wrong so far.

W. And it's not just Jazz fans that think so.
