Jazz players at the World Cup

I wish Favors made the team. Cousins looks horrible. A black hole on offense. Silly turnovers... Not to mention Drummond and Plumlee

I believe both Motiejunas (LTU) & Exum (AUS) have sat the entire 2nd half as Lithuania has cut the Australia lead from 19 to 3.

Dante Exum hasn't seen the floor in the second half after his lackluster defense in the first.
 
I'll admit I haven't watched a lot but Dragic is struggling against Korea.

Same team we were complaining that Dante was struggling against.

With less than 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, undefeated Slovenia is losing to Korea.
 
Struggling? Hardly. 10 points in 13 minutes of play on 5/7 shooting. He's playing OK.

You should delete that post, it doesn't match the pre-approved script.

Well I think a 5th center would be handy against Spain so we could have nothing but centers on the floor and then Coach K could have cut Derozan.

Australia vs Lithuania is on. Dante is on the bench.
Dante in. Nice backdoor cut and an assist to Motum in the paint.
Motum with a tip in in offense.
Great bounce pass by Exum inside, but Motum couldn't control it and the TO is given to Exum. Dante out.
30:20 in the first quarter. Baynes made the difference. Valanciunas is struggling.
Motum with a nice cut to the basket. Misses the first , but tips it in.
Wow. Joe Ingles with a great game so far. I hope it rubs off on Exum, having in mind they are roommates.
Australia leading with 47:28 at half-time.
Exum with 1rb, 1ast, 1to
Motum with 6pts, 2 rebs(3/7 shooting, 0/1 from 3)
Third quarter:
Exum has officially been demoted to Australia's third PG. Gibson in for Dellavedova.
4th quarter:
Gibson in for Dellavedova again... Dante still on the bench.

Game over, Australia wins even though Lithuania made a push in the third and the fourth. Exum played only 4 minutes and didn't get in the game in the second half.

Sounds like Ingles is going to parlay his play into a NBA contract.

One thing I notice is about Exum is that he is able to get into the paint, but he refuses to take it up strong. I've counted twice now that he has gotten in the paint with no shot blockers present and refused to go up for a layup. One time he swung it to an open 3 pointer, but still, he doesn't appear to have that offensive mentality yet. He is like the opposite of Burks.
