I lol'd at that Gobert dunk. It was awesome. Based on the video (and not to entire game which I didn't see) Exum appears more aggressive and much more comfortable. How was his defense?
Legit question. Are Exum's hands small? I would guess the opposite based on his body structure (long arms and legs) but dammit when he gets by someone, if he's so damned athletic, why can't he attack the rim? it's not like we're talking about a guy who's 6'1" or something. He starts to and then it's like he has **** in his pants and can't get more than six inches off the ground and does this weird lay-up, tear-drop combo where the fall sort of awkwardly flies out of his hand with little to no aim, for lack of a better word. It is so awkward it looks as if he's never played basketball before.
I think his legs are just dead. It's the most logical explanation. He has probably played more games in the past 6 months than he has in his entire life.

No way his legs are dead. He's quick as hell to or close to the lane and then he transforms into the fish flopping about at the end of the Faith No More Epic video. Just awkwardly flailing his body to the hoop. Just awful.

A summer at P3 will help, his core strength is very weak.
Exum hasn't filled out yet so his body proportions look off - he'll put on another 10-15 pounds naturally and then add another 10 pounds or so through strength training within the next 2 or 3 years - then look out!
Lol, his hands measured 8.5." Pretty average for his height. So not small. Not a real vertically explosive guy. He's definitely way more Manu than he is Westbrook.
I measured my hand to see how I compare. I measure at 8" and I'm 6'4.
I'm 6'4 and am 8.25. So Dante should be able to palm a basketball with ease.
