Dante Exum Averages .2 Steals Per Game

[Tragic66]

Funny that you have two guys with the name Jazz in their names, but don’t GAF about the Jazz, complaining that everyone here wants to see Exum fail, when they’re licking their lips every time Donovan looks bad (because that somehow makes Simmons better?) and are rooting for the Jazz to fail without Exum (the same way Hayward was hoping the Celtics would lose without him), yet we, who are just hoping for Jazz W’s, get lectured about just being haters, acting as if their own nationality has no relevance to their irrational fanhood.

That argument works just as well for the irrational anti Exums as it does the pro Exums?

If one is here because they are a fan of the Jazz, then their bias would be toward what they feel will help the Jazz win. If one is here because they’re a fan of a player, then their bias is toward what they think will make that player shine. We get it, a lot of people think that by making Dante personally excel that the Jazz would excel. Maybe that’s true. But it’s also true that if Sam Antonio would have given Jimmer more of a chance, he could have helped San Antonio. But is that a good angle?

I was much stronger in my late 30's than I was at 23. This is just a bad take.

I guess I bloomed early. Thanks for the correction, all.

Lol.

He's 23. He's about as strong as he's going to get.

U have no idea

I just watched Exum highlights of the game, it seems he played a very good game.

He did play a good game but just as a heads up anytime you watch a players highlights they look good. The highlights don't show the misses and turnovers etc.

True, but he didn't have many of those though. Some gotta give credit where credit is due. Kid played great.

I’d like to know how Exum does in practice. If it’s just an enormous lack of confidence issue or if he shoots poorly in practice also. Anyone have any knowledge about this?

Locke mentioned just very briefly near the end of a pod not long into the season that he’d looked awesome in a couple of practices but didn’t want to say too much

 

[Diamond77]

Let the kid to play his game!

Nice to see this, but I sincerely hope it's been happening all season with practice. Keep working Dante, it's the only way to get where you want to be.

Seems unlikely.

Exactly my point, there are those here who conversely think that by making Dante personally not excel the Jazz would excel. It’s Ying and Yang, two sides to the coin. People should want Exum to excel and not denigrate him at every opportunity as a bust, and people should not spruke and defend him as something special if he has a crap game.

We all could probably hit 5 3s in a row before Exum does

That was back when the only thing he could do offensively was shoot a spot up 3.

I think that was the game Quin made him the starter and I think it was vs the Bucks ? 5/10 3 pt FG .. and pretty much no other FG attempts ?

I'll take the 15 points against the Rockets where he's driving and playmaking for himself and others over the 15 points where he hit 5 threes and did nothing else tbh.
