Anybody watching Exum right now?

[Mr. Incredible]

Kid reeks of potential.

[DaSeba5]

I'm too busy enjoying Ennis the Menace for the Heat.

[steve]

That first step is something else.

How is Napier looking?

Pretty solid. It's hard to judge a PG in summer league because the offense will be run different with the actual team.

Looked like he was trying to do way too much in the first couple of games.

[jcsrplumply]

Just started watching and then he gets subbed out. :mad:

[Yankstar]

Looking like young kobe out there :applause:

[DaSeba5]

He will take some time to develop, but he can contribute off the bench right away I think. Hamilton and Ennis have looked good. I think they both make the team.

[Brokenbeat]

Kid's a beast. Still can't believe he fell to Utah.

[outbreak]

Looking like young kobe out there :applause:
:biggums:

Exum's looking good but he's clearly a pass first guy. Kobe was a scorer.

[r0drig0lac]

best name in the nba easily :rockon:






and probably a future all star

I understand it a bit more with how Payton played in summer league, not sure I like it because I still think Exum is going to be a great player (plus I'm australian) but I understand more now why orlando felt they could pass on him if they had been really high on Payton.

[Mr. Incredible]

Ennis better make the team. He's like an athletic James Jones.

[NugzFan]

Poor jameer

[Jameerthefear]

Dude is a serious diva :oldlol: That body language when he doesn't get the ball is something else.

[Jameerthefear]

Vegas Summer League is much more free flowing than Orlando's. Payton was seeing traps, getting picked up full court, and double teamed in Orlando. None of that here.

[NugzFan]

Such denial. Lol

can't remember who it was but during one of the orlando summer league games the were talking about how a guy who'd bounced around summer league teams thought orlando summer league was far tougher and less flashy. Grain of salt though as it's one players opinion and they are both pretty poor to be honest. You can't deny Exum looks good though, he hasn't had a big impact but his moves are smooth and his handle looks great for a guy his size who has his mind set on being a point. His cross over and drive looks real smooth, when he bulks up and can finish well with it it'll be dangerous combined with his passing.

Dude why are you in every jameer thread these days trying to talk shit? You post in threads saying summer league is a joke and means nothing then you post in other threads talking up players from summer league games. Try being unbiased and having an opinion that isn't influenced by who you have grudges against for a change.

Vegas looks way more flashy.
I agree about Exum. That first step looks deadly and he's got better vision than I expected. However, his attitude and defensive effort isn't where it should be. Don't think he has the vision Payton has, but definitely a good passer.

[Jameerthefear]

Exum 3-9 with 3 assists. Not bad, but I still think Payton is better.

[Milbuck]

Exum 3-9 with 3 assists. Not bad, but I still think Payton is better.
Payton in his first game had 2 points on 25% shooting with 4 turnovers.

Just by watching the highlights (I'm not watching the game), he seems to have some on-ball defense? There's a hustle play in the highlights.

He does seem to absolutely stink of potential though. It's a shame the West is so ridiculously stacked. They'll still finish close to bottom..

Would have to wait till around his 4th game to make a statement such as "blah > blah". Still, it is just Summer League.

[Dr.J4ever]

Just hit a 3.... Good handle, quick, court awareness out there:applause:

[Jameerthefear]

Payton in his first game had 2 points on 25% shooting with 4 turnovers.
he was being trapped, pressed, and doubled the whole game though. this has nothing of the sort.

[raprap]

Reminds me of kobe. The hesitation dribble and that first step :applause:

[Sportal]

He's fast...

...

He makes fast people look.. Not fast.

[Thunderfan86]

Highlights?

[Sportal]

Highlights?

NBA.com?

Exum has 4 out of 6 highlights.

[NugzFan]

Dude why are you in every jameer thread these days trying to talk shit?

The kid trolls the shit out of this forum. We would all be better off if his computer broke. I have no pity for the annoying homer.

I never said summer league is a joke but I laugh at people who freak out because someone on their favorite team had a decent game against nbdl scrubs. Gary Harris had probably the best game of anyone in any game and you don't see me making 7 threads about him.

Jameer is a big boy. If he wants to troll and ruin this board then he can deal with all the shit he will get from everyone else. It's 100% his fault.

Even you know he is a huge homer who back tracks all the time and makes a lot of useless threads.

[NugzFan]

All excuses. If exum was drafted by the magic like you wanted, you would never say any of this. Pathetic.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

He's bouncier than I thought.

[micz]

Im happy his australian!

[coin24]

Jameer looking like a bitter ex:lol
Stay salty, your shit franchise fu*ked up!!

[BoutPractice]

He's bouncier than I thought.
As I said before, he will translate extremely well from a physical standpoint.
The question marks have to do with his shot, decision making etc.

[Yankstar]

Reminds me of kobe. The hesitation dribble and that first step :applause:

:bowdown:

As I said looking like young kobe out there. He's got a future in the nba :bowdown:

[Cactus-Sack]

Hope he learns how to shoot. Going to be very good regardless.

[SexSymbol]

Good thing Magic got him.
Oh wait

[Andrei89]

I have the feeling he will lead the Magic to their first title in the future.

and if he can't handle that they'll hit him with it every game.

You don't trap Cp3 or tony parker because they'll hit an open man for a free bucket

[Rubio2Gasol]

He does remind meof Kobe a little, but I'm not sure if its just body type. I'm assuming he's going to play the 2 this year, we'll see how he does. They have a very nice 3 man guard rotation.

[Cactus-Sack]

and if he can't handle that they'll hit him with it every game.

The only reason payton gets traps thrown at him is because he turn the ball over so much.

he can handle them just fine. had the butterflies his whole first game though. rest of the way dominated.

[GOBB]

Meanwhile Sean Kilpatrick stole the show

[BuffaloBill]

Dude turned 19 today. So raw, so much potential. That first step is something special. He's gonna be so much fun to watch in the upcoming years in the NBA



And handsome. So handsome

[ralph_i_el]

:facepalm duh? Why else would you high trap a point guard? You're trying to force a turnover. If you know a guy coughs it up a lot and can't break double teams then you trap him.

[El Kabong]

Pretty good first basket from him.

Nah, there are other reasons.

For instance, teams trap Curry because he can make threes from a couple feet behind the arc. They also know none else on the team can playmake.

But the main reason for high trapping a point guard is to slow down the tempo, a common feature of most grindhouse teams.

lee and iggy are both great passers for their positions

[Maga_1]

People got to remember that it was his first game ever against real competition (right? right?)

[uberspork]

Here's his highlights from the game for those who missed it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kod-WZbeYFI

[HylianNightmare]

Smh

[mrpibb]

Smh

I'm sorry, man.

[hawksdogsbraves]

He looked great from the highlights I saw and from what I read.

Definitely think the Magic missed out by passing on him. Exum has superstar potential, Gordon at best will be a good starter. If you can snag a potential superstar in the draft you need to do it.

I don't think we can declare Gordon's cap yet, he is a long way off the player he will turn out to be. I must admit I would feel happier with Exum on the orlando roster though.

[dreamwarrior]

reminds me of Rose. as in he tries too hard. I hope he doesn't get injured.

[BigMacAttack]

Jameer acting like a bitch, this kid shits potential he has so much.

[Carbine]

He's got star written all over him.

I think Orlando is going to look back and kill themselves for passing him up to pair with Oladipo.

[Jameerthefear]

the comparison isn't gordon vs. exum.
it's payton vs. exum
the magic felt that they didn't need to draft two point guards and they felt that payton was better or very close to what exun is going to be. and i agree.

[Fudge]

And Orlando stays shit...furr life.

[RedBlackAttack]

I have to say, those highlights were impressive. Very quick, excellent first step, under control and nice vision. With that length, he has the tools to be a very special player.

I'm not going to go too far based on one set of Summer League highlights, but there is something about this kid... an "it" factor. Very impressive. Jazz fans should be very pleased.

yeah... in his first game.

[Xiao Yao You]

Looking like young kobe out there :applause:

Don't get that comparison at all. The kid appears to be completely unselfish which could have never described Kobe.


I'm assuming he's going to play the 2 this year, we'll see how he does. They have a very nice 3 man guard rotation.

I'd guess he'll be playing 1,2, and 3. He's got more of a point guard mentality than Burke and we certainly don't want John Lucas on the floor. They've got at least 4 quality guards. Hayward will spend time at the 2 with Hood at the 3 I imagine.

[turnaroundJ]

I wish he went to the Lakers to train with Kobe.

Well you can thank Nick and Mike for that :lol

[ralph_i_el]

When people describe him.as "young Kobe" its less about mindset and more about the fact that he has insane quickness and really good length for a guard

[PleezeBehave]

People who are shitting on Orlando (or Jameerthefear, to be exact) need to stop ignoring what they have in Elfrid Payton and how he did in SL.

I know Exum is good and going to be better, but why does it always have to be like this on ISH? Trashtalk and just annoying posts.

The Magic wanted to pair him and a forward with Oladipo to form a defensive powerhouse with decent offense, over Exum. That forward is a project in Aaron Gordon. Sure, he won't be LeBron and he won't be Magic Johnson, few are, if any, but he's promising and needs time to develop. It's not like the Magic were aiming for the Finals this year. Give him time to work on his game. He's 18 years old and forwards often need more time to get their game together.

Why all the hostility here? Grow up.

This is Elfrid Payton, who so many of you choose to ignore to hype up Exum as the second coming of Kobe and how Magic failed miserably in passing on him:

Vs. Pistons - 18pts, 8asts, 4stls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB8eR4Sbe9w

Vs. Rockets - 12pts, 9asts, 8rebs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrbbQpXdZmY

Vs. Celtics: 8pts, 10asts, 9rebs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS2cC_sm5MQ

Please, somebody tell me Payton sucks and bring solid reasons why.

[JellyBean]

This dude is going to be fun to watch. Wow!!!

[Xover]

yeah... in his first game.

Lol u were riding Exum so hard until magic passed him over and so now you hate him?

[pegasus]

When people describe him.as "young Kobe" its less about mindset and more about the fact that he has insane quickness and really good length for a guard
His body and body language are similar to young Kobe's too.
