[url]https://thejnotes.com/2018/08/26/utah-jazz-3-things-dante-exum-needs-to-show-next-season/[/url]
[QUOTE]That is what makes this offseason so exciting for Dante Exum. He will finally have the chance to devote the time into bettering his skill set, and can enter a season completely healthy.
[/QUOTE]
He was completely healthy into pre-season last year and was healthy the year before as well. Tired of the excuses. Time to show up and earn your 33 million :rant
[QUOTE]The Jazz just gave Exum a three-year, $33 million contract with the assumption that he is still going to maximize his potential. At first glance, that dollar amount may seem too high, but by years end, it could begin to look like a steal.
[/QUOTE]
Hard to imagine. He's no where close to a 9-111 million dollar a year player. He's a defensive specialist on a team loaded with defenders and an offensive liability on a team that needs offense
[QUOTE]That defensive prowess is what led to Exum taking over the starting point guard duties from Trey Burke that season. He played in all 82 games, and started in 41.
[/QUOTE]
Had more to do with Try sucking!
[QUOTE]If I am the Jazz, I need to see that Exum can play that level of defense over the course of a full season. If he never improves his offensive game from where it is currently, but can be one of the top defensive wings in the league, then he will have earned that $33 million contract of his.
[/QUOTE]
No he won't have! They have other defenders that don't suck at offense. He is an end of the bench player if all he can do is defend
[QUOTE]Exum attempted a career high in shots last year, but he is simply taking less and less from three. While he does have an impressive ability to get to the basket and create contact, he absolutely has to attempt those shots when they are generated through the offense. His biggest strength of getting to the basket would actually be magnified by shooting more from three to keep the defense honest.
[/QUOTE]
He'll certainly be left wide open. Him and Rubio and Favors and Gobert on the floor together! :roll:
[QUOTE]Exum excels at getting into the teeth of a defense. This is going to force help defenders, which will lead to open teammates. Whether that is an open shooter in the corner or a big man for a easy layup or dunk, he has to show a consistent ability to get them the ball.
[/QUOTE]
He has to be able to finish or no one will be open
[QUOTE]With Grayson Allen behind him in the rotation, better decision making will be a must. Allen already showed us during the summer league that he has terrific vision, and if Exum wants to stay ahead of him in the rotation, he’ll have to limit his turnovers and make better decisions.
[/QUOTE]
33 million dollars. He will be playing a lot regardless of how much he sucks just like Hood and Rubio last year :cry:

[QUOTE]Darius Bazley blazed his own path in the basketball world when the top-10 prospect in the 2018 high school class announced his decision in March to decommit from Syracuse and enter the NBA G League. Now, Bazley tells The Athletic that he has decided not to play in the G League and will instead use the year to train and prepare himself as a professional. Bazley, 18, discussed his decision with those closest to him, including his representatives and his mother, Lynnita. The McDonald

[QUOTE]Hold your horses: Grayson Allen should not have a rotation spot over Alec Burks right away
[/QUOTE]
He should not be ahead of anyone until he proves it but we know the Jazz don't do things that way anymore. Burks should be starting over Rubio but he's certainly the last guy on the bench
[QUOTE]Did Alec Burks look nervously over his shoulder when the Utah Jazz selected Grayson Allen in the 2018 NBA Draft? Probably. Should he be worried about the rookie from Duke taking his spot in the rotation from day one? No.
[/QUOTE]
Burks wasn't in the rotation. He only played at all because of injuries. Why is it that people that write this stuff don't even watch games? :facepalm
[QUOTE]Allen is entering the league NBA-ready, having been groomed for four years at Duke. He

Yet most of their losing last year was because Snyder insisted on playing Rubio and Hood big minutes regardless of their play

[QUOTE]The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has signed guard Trey Lewis. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released. Lewis (6-2, 185, Louisville) competed for the Jazz entry squads at the 2018 Utah Jazz Summer League and 2018 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
