It would be better if he acted like a good teammate/cooperative player that accepted whatever role he was handed without complaint but this is what you can get when you draft a player that doesn't want to be there.

Reporter: Are you concerned at all coming back worn out (from playing for Australia this summer).
Exum: No, my agent and my family we've stressed to the Jazz I need some rest coming back.

So after spending the entire season pining for Exum and riding his d*ck hard now you're going to spend every post bashing the s*hit out of him? :confusedshrug:

You come off as a jilted lover who got stood up at the altar. :lol

[Dr Seuss]

wouldnt be surprised if exum averages the same numbers as payton and gordon combined.

So where exactly does exum say anything wrong

That's pretty weak. It would be a shame if he truly is that big of a ****, because he appears to be very talented.

Forget that dummy. He's upset his team didn't get him. If this happened on the Magic, this thread would be lauding his "alpha nature". no doubt.

the quoted article even said that exum gave the perfect PR response. just cause OP is an ISH Diva, he thinks he can dub others a diva like himself. Weird, little boy mentality

Talented? Yes as long as you don't count shooting and ball handling as a talent for guards.

Anyhow lets be serious for a second. Exum's upside is superior to Trey Burke.

[PJR]

Talented? Yes as long as you don't count shooting and ball handling as a talent for guards.

I'm not completely sold on him, but from what I've seen of him, I think he has a real high upside. His first step is very explosive, and he has a pretty good feel for the game. His flaws are fixable with further development. He's only 19.

Not at all. Is this not diva behavior? If he was on my team complaining about Dipo having the ball too much I'd tell him to shut the **** up.

Sure he's pretty fast but lots of guys have been fast. His decision making is average at best and his shooting is abysmal. I know it's summer league but he didn't show a lot of promise to me. Certainly nothing worthy of being a top 10 pick. Neither did Gordon. Exum shot 31,17 and 64. His FT shooting is awful. 2.8 assists to 3.0 turnovers. He is not good if he doesn't have the ball in his hands. The game that he started at PG in summer league (he was playing SG most games), he wasn't any better. I mean Rubio is a better than average defender and an excellent passer but he sucks. I mean, he's just not that good because he can't shoot. Well Exum may be quick but he can't shoot and isn't a great passer. He's not the worst passer but he's no natural PG. He's an SG who can pass a little and needs the ball in his hands. He's also weak. I think all the people who drank the Exum kool aid are in for a rude awakening this year.

[gts]

Jameer I could understand your changing attitude on Exum had he forced his way to Utah but he didn't...

Your hating on a player strictly because he was drafted before your team had a chance to draft him is just plain goofy... Finding his comments and twisting them to fit some childish agenda is even goofier

The Cavs bumped your team out of a top draft spot, the Jazz picked him up, none of these things were in Exum's control

Get over it

[PJR]

So was Russel Westbrook's his first couple years in the league. No question he's a project, but you've got to give a kid a chance to develop. He's nineteen. Judge him three years from now.

Sure but westbrook is one of the fastest guards I've ever seen play and he's an athletic freak. I don't care how fast anyone says Exum is, he's not in Westbrook's league. The board was flush with people saying Exum was going to beast this year and all kinda shit like that. I hope he does, believe me the NBA needs more talent but these people based that on pure hype. There weren't many moments from him in summer league that made you think he was going to be good. Take McDermott for instance, that was a guy who surprised me and made me think that he may be better than I thought he would be. Exum and Gordon made me think otherwise that's what I'm saying. It's going to be a long haul for Exum and if anyone thinks he can start at PG this year in the NBA, they need their heads examined.

[GOBB]

NBA Comparison: Kobe, Exum can play SG.

Doesn't sound like his career at SG is getting off to a nice start eh? :lol

Thank you Hinkie for Embiid.

[bdreason]

I'm not sure Burke and Exum will work out. Exum looked lost in SL trying to play off the ball... and Burke looked amazing at point.

He's 19 and if he as a shitty first year, it really means nothing. Don't give up so easily. :coleman:

Wrong, Orlando passed on him, making it even worse. :lol

Take it easy on Jameer. He's obviously still emotional about the draft. :oldlol:

[WeGetRing2012]

Exum>>> Gordon> Payton

A combo of Gordon and Payton will be better than Exum. I sensed Exum's ego during the draft process and from the his gameplay he doesnt even seem to be that good of a prospect. He still dribbles with only one hand :facepalm

Payton on the other hand look really good in summer league. And Gordon has the tools to be effective in the future. A Kwahi type of player.

[sammichoffate]

I think this is what you guys call living "rent-free" in someone's head, in this case, Exum and Jameer :lol

[Take Your Lumps]

His personality to me reeks of Dwight Howard....I hope for his sake that I'm wrong.

[outbreak]

Exum and Gordon are both riding the same boat together. People will call them busts during their rookies years but they will eventually put it together. They are both very young but both haven't developed their games yet. Exums further along right now than Gordon is though. Hennigan's idea on passing on Exum was because he was happy with Payton later on. Payton's shown more than Exum has so far (yeah it's only summer league) it's just Gordon who's been the let down but he's a long term project. I would feel safer if we'd taken Rangle/Vonleh with the fourth but I'll try to stay optimistic and hope Gordon develops into a good piece one day.

Does anyone genuinely know why his draft stock soared approaching the draft? I only just heard of him a year out as a potentially decent PG, then in the months leading up to the draft it was he should be first PG off the board, then it ended up being that hes a potential top pick.

What did he show that made people go nuts?

he was talked about as a possible number 1 pick last year, as far as I know he never soared out of nowhere.

because his game wasn't picked apart at the college level like every other PG that was drafted. he was literally a mystery.

[Big_Dogg]

The Jazz can't honestly think he even wants to be there, everyone knows he wanted and still wants to be a Laker, the Jazz just plain f**ked up picking him, he'll be gone when his rookie contract is done anyway, they should have left him and let the Lakers pick him, they will end up losing him in the end.

Exum played for Australia in the 2012 FIBA Under-17 World Championship and the 2013 FIBA Under-19 World Championship. Exum averaged 18.2 points and 3.8 assists over nine games at the 2013 FIBA U19 tournament, subsequently being named to the All-Tournament Team.

Actually before the draft I saw 4 different interviews in which he said he wanted to go to Orlando to play with Oladipo, Lakers to learn from Kobe, Philly for I don't remember what reason and I think he mentioned charlotte at some point too.

and Aaron Gordon won the MVP of that tournament.

I imagine the bucks would have been his first choice after the lottery though, he just wanted to go as high as possible to a team that didn't have a good point guard in his way, when he made those comments they were pre lottery.

[Big_Dogg]

nope. he wanted to come to Orlando.

In your dreams, anyone who knows anything about Dante knows his lifelong dream is to play for the Lakers.

The only reason he would want to go to Orlando is not to drop too far in the draft and he would have had the chance to start or get good minutes with Oladipo in a young and athletic backcourt.

Him and Oladipo as a guard tandem would work and would probably be super exciting, him and Burke, not so much.

Gotta love all the Exum bashing going on here. Any other player says this and no one bats an eye but because Exum was able to shatter jameers heart and hopes and dreams he's gotta put everything Exum says under the microscope and make a topic about it.

I don't see what is wrong with what he says. The guy wants the ball in his hands. He knows he performs best with the ball in his hands. We gonna bash someone now for wanting to play at their best? At least he's speaking the truth. Actually get some insight into him and the way he thinks instead of the same boring, generic answers over and over. He knows that Utah might not be the absolute perfect situation, but he's not throwing in the towel. He's going to give it a chance, try and make it work.
