Yea, I've been pretty wrong about Exum from the start. I wanted him to be our savior. He was so hyped before the draft I thought he was going to be the next Magic Johnson or something. I'm depressed about it.

I agree.
I remember seattle jazz fan taking about how maybe exum had not played against any competition and how he would not be very good.
Everyone bashed him for that opinion and talked about how he was playing against all this great competition in ask these tournaments and dominating and taking about how great he would be.

Now everyone acts like they expected him to struggle this much

He is going to be fine. Most everyone knew he would have a alot of ohhhh moments and a **** ton of ahhhh moments. I personally am very optimistic that after one full offseason of weight training he is going to start making nice strides next year.

So what exactly did you expect? I don't think he is struggling. I think he is learning.

I certainly did. I always thought I'd be surprised if he averaged more than 6 points as a rookie.

He came straight out of high school. From ****ing Australia.

I expected a #5 draft pick rather than a d-league looking talent. Sorry.

If I had never heard of exum and knew nothing about him I would think he was a very late first round pick or second rounder.

But that was not my point. I remember alot of people giving Seattle jazz fan crap for saying exum would struggle. Looks like he was right

Well not straight, he took like 8 months off just to work out like a professional.

It's all good. I like hearing your bets by the way.

I like jamezz as a poster generally but don't listen to him about taking about your bets
 
Gobert is becoming a very good passer fast. I always knew he had a natural instinct, but it's coming along faster than I thought it would.

Yeah may be he could play like the number 6 pick https://m.espn.go.com/nba/playercard?playerId=2990992&src=desktop
Or any of the other injured and/or underwhelming players picked ahead of him. My point is be patient.
