Chad Ford: Exum > Burke right now; rookie player that's most positively surprising

One thing I noticed is that Exum has a hard time bringing the ball up the court against pressure. Calderon (who isn't known for his defense) kept him from starting the play until there were about 12 seconds left on the shot clock.

Look, whether Exum is starting or not, we aren't gonna be a good team. It makes a lot more sense to bring him along slowly against backups than to force him to play heavy minutes against very good players when he isn't ready. I don't get why some of you are so impatient, whether it's just that you're stupid or being incredibly reactionary, but it makes more sense to have Exum come off the bench for now.

Never mind.
 
I know it is only a small sample but it will be interesting to see how Exum goes on this 5 game roadtrip
At home he is hitting 52% FG - 50% 3PTS - 3.5 ASt and 0.75 TO
Away he is hitting 40% FG - 0% 3PTS - 1 AST - 1.5 TO
I had no idea. Something I will certainly be watching for now.
 
Dennis Schroders PER this year is a measley, 35.86...

averaging 1.8 steals in 12 minutes per game...


I wanted the Jazz to draft him for his defense and ability to move the ball up the court in hyperspeed.. look at these underhand scoopshot layups he's getting in halfcourt offense... dudes quick as **** with the ball.
