Exum first summer league basket

He is sound, sensible, strong, speedy and super slick, love watching him play and so will the Jazz fans...

Interesting now to reflect on how well he's been managed, his inner circle likely knew he was legitimately "ready", however by limiting his appearances & assuming that team workouts would confirm his potential they have minimized the medias opportunity to even suggest anything different, quite clever.

""Not a point guard" got a pretty good run too, (admit I was a sceptic) but the vision & awareness he's already showed is top shelf. Hope he can maintain that aggressiveness too, also looked like he's improved his quickness (further) & more exosive than last time I saw him play."

Thought the exact same, pass was bit off & his body controll was similar to the way Kobe can (could) adjust & convert.
He's been criticized for his finishing previously as he'll make a living gettinng to the hoop, no longer an issue based on couple of those plays.

Oh yeah, check out his appearance on 'The Starters' today as well. Classic moment where they all sing the Essendon Bombers song for him in lieu of happy birthday (which is copyrighted and would cost the show money)!

Really encouraging debut from Exum. As mentioned above, he has things to work on and we can't expect him to be a star in his first season, but the talent is there for all to see.

Another good thing judging by today's game is that he has two things he can do to contribute on an NBA court right away: he can beat most guys off the dribble and he can find the open man once the defence adjusts. Those skills alone will ensure he sees decent court time. If he works hard to improve his pick and roll defence early this season, he could end up starting for the Jazz sooner rather than later.

Walt Frazier was commentating the game too and was very positive about Dante.

Looking good for the future!

It was a nice start, i think people were a little taken aback by how much he showed as a PG, people assumed he was shoot first which was not the case. You can see he will need a lot of work on the defensive end but i was impressed with his general play.

Seems that once he gets his legs under him he will be better as well. Good solid start to build from. Come off the bench and build to a starter would be a good outcome this year i think.
