No logical reason Exum can't be the first PG Quin gets off the bench. If he sucks then Quin can play Mack next time Hill needs a blow in the game. Otherwise, ride Exum. Mack is a cold fish.

Exum has a better PER, BPM, VORP, WS, scores more off less shots, rebounds better, turns the ball over less, Better TS%, and a bunch of other stuff.
Shelvin does have a better Net off/def rating, passing better and statistically seemingly playing better defense. But I think Exum is a better passer and defender (I dont like defensive stats unless its for the team) and time will show that.
Its easy to justify that Exum is currently a better player with a much bigger upside. But there are reasons to play Mack beyond increasing his trade value but it seems short sighted, especially since neither is going to be that big of a factor in us winning or losing right now.
We can't waste another year of this guy because Mack gives us "toughness".
As long as the Jazz keep winning and avoid a bad stretch, Exum is screwed. Really doesn't matter how Mack plays. Jazz win, Quin keeps Exum on the bench. Simple as that.
I don't think Exum is screwed .With his speed and length at PG,add some more muscle and he's going to be a stud BB player for someone and be paid for it ,hopefully for the Jazz and not another team where he explodes out big time
jazz are significantly better on both offense and defense when Exum is off the court. perhaps Quin is seeing something we're not.
I dont disagree. The larger point is, perhaps Snyder sees something we dont. He's not dumb.On off numbers on this small of a sample size are EXTREMELY unreliable. I don't think anyone can sit and watch Mack get blown by 6'10 guy off the dribble(yes, this happened today) and think "yah, sure... he plays better D than Exum"...
The clock is ticking on finding out what he really is / can be.
