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

So was Hardaway always "there"? Could he be comparing Dante to a young, unfinished, pre-peak Hardaway (i.e. comparing their physical profiles and basic skill set)? What's the point of your post? Don't you think he knows Dante doesn't compare to a peak Hardaway?

You know you don't have to reply to every-single-posts that I make right?

Do you ever listen? Or do you just wait for opportunities to regurgitate someone else's information?

Not to you I don't.

I'll re-post it, so you have an easier time:

Exum not there yet, but yeah I can see the comparison

As far as comparisons go, it is not bad, but they are completely different players. Penny liked to post and bang and thrived on contact, which I havent seen from Exum (it may come). Exum seems quicker and has better court vision than Penny.

I don't know if you've seen U18 games of Exum. He used to post up even against SG and SFs and abuse them with some nice post up moves. I can't wait until his body catches up with his skill... Look at the scouting vid of draftexpress. They even put posting up as a strength of his. He also had about 10FTA/game in one of the World cups(i.e. he thrived on contact). Right now he can't do it simply because his body and strength are not there yet for NBA-level.

I think my favorite Exum comparison is Penny Hardaway - I think it's accurate as Anfernee handled the ball well, was oversized/athletic & filled the stat sheet.

exum is much smaller than penny though. but yeah, i see similarities in their quick first step and good court vision. we should be delighted if exum is half as good as penny.

not anymore.

Retired?

Tony Parker is probably my most hated NBA player ever. I ALWAYS hated the put your head down and run to the basket and flop hoping the refs would bail you out play, even if it was effective. That seemed to be his go to move. If that is how Exum develops I will be disappointed. He looks to have a little more jaw dropping "what did I just see!" to his game, which I really want from him.

And yes, I know Parker has expanded his game. Still hate him and his flopping though.

pretty much every damn stars are floppers nowdays. cp3, blake, dwade, bron, KD, curry, and etc. they all flop. it's the new era. parker isn't even the best flopper in his own team.

dirk and bron think there are nothing wrong with flop. i'm disgusted by it too.

No, not in the traditional sense. I left because I couldn't do the work I really wanted to do (which drifted more toward social work and literature).
