Dante Exum makes it official, nominates for NBA draft

You've got to take your opportunities when they are presented. I think if sport is going to be your professional career then the sooner you can start earning some big dollars the better. There's too much risk of getting a significant injury and not getting a gig at all, or worse case, end up just playing NBL! I just hope he has some smart people around him to help manage his life and finances.

I'm torn as to whether I want Exum on the Celtics or not. It would definitely be great for Aussie ball if Dante is able to succeed on a big market team, but its also a very bright, harsh spotlight in a place like Boston or LA.

He could fit nicely on the Celtics, coming off the bench behind Bradley until he's ready for a starting role. Brad Stevens would be a good coach for him as well.

I think if Embiid or Parker are on the table, the Celtics have to take one of them. If both are gone though, Exum starts to enter the mix along with Wiggins.

Noooooooooooo!! Anyone but them.
Please basketball gods don't make me have to support the Lakers. It was awful enough trying to like the Sparks when Harrower and then O'Hea went there.

Hopefully Dante ends up on a team that already has an aussie presence. Great problem to have, but it's already taxing enough for me just keeping up with the Spurs, Warriors & Cavs.

Thanks Isaac for the link to the $$$ article. Wonder if Bennet's agent negotiated +20% on top of $4.5M?
Good luck to Dante, draft was always the smarter option.
