Exum... went 40 games without getting to the FT line...

On the other hand, here is his pre-draft "scouting report":

Strengths: … Excels at getting to the basket and drawing fouls … Finishes through contact and can score with either hand … Excellent body control allows him to make very acrobatic shots at the rim … Opposing defenders are constantly off-balance due to his effective hesitation moves and explosive first step …

p.s. I knew you couldn't stay away. Your desire to have a true mouthful was too strong I see. I'm sorry to report my bread isn't buttered that way, but I appreciate the infatuation.
 
^green has quoted me, but I refuse to un-hide his message. I assume he's talking about why I appear to be engaging with him. Will someone tell that numbnuts that I can't hide a thread with an obviously dumb title? It's plainly visible, alas. tia
 
He is 20 years old and missed most of his second season. He does need to be on the SL getting reps and practice in under the Jazz coaches eyes... Crazy some of you ready to anoint a 20 year old who came in as a combo guard and just miss a season and ready to give him a starting pg job, Insane I tell you.

Good enough? Sure he has a lot of potential but he is far from a finished product and reps are good for youngsters. Youngster that didn't play ball stateside until a couple years ago at that. Be good for him to go and show what kind of leader he can be. A lot of second year players play in the SL and he is basically a second year player sincehe missed most of last year. Just amazes me how many people are hyping him up and ready to hand over the keys to a youngster who really isn't ready to take the horns yet. He is what 21 years old? If I was a Jazz fan then I would want to see him come off the bench and gain confidence and improve thru the year. That is what DL thinks also since he wasted a lottery pick on George Hill. He didn't waste that pick for Hill to come off the bench. Sometimes throwing a player who isn't ready into the fire can really backfire on you and ruin a players career.

I totally agree with you. Exum needs as much playing time as he can get for his development, since at his tender age he is still a subpar starter in the league. That being said, I think both Exum and the Jazz are just being extra carefull with his injury and thinking long term.
 
The heat are playing Winslow and Richardson
Indy has Joe Young playing
Detroit has Stanley Johnsonplaying
Denver has Mudiay and Harris playing

If all those guys can play in the SL no reason Exum should not be out on cort. Three of those teams were playoff teams and those are some players hwo have logged major minutes. Heck Mudiay ran the point all year and is still going to SL, No reason Exum shouldn't be out getting reps seeing how he is much more of a raw prospect then thosementioned.
