GT: Wizards @ jazz

Strong play to start the game from the wiz. They seem to be turning the corner chance to get 4 here against a tough jazz team.

Why does Exum start? Is it more of a thing where Trey can provide much needed scoring for the second unit?

Exum defends, hits open 3's and is the future. Trey sucks usually and probably won't be around long term. His shoot first, miss often and defend little work better off the bench. Hopefully next year they'll have a proven vet in the mix.

Coming into tonight, he's hitting over 50% for his last 24 or 25 attempts from downtown. Super small sample size, but he was so bad at beginning of season. Some post ASB shooting stats:

Defensively, he's stepped up post ASB. He's really bad inside, but his ability to D up at point of attack is an unsung wrinkle in the Jazz's ascendance to top of league defensively. I think they're trying to let him play team offense and let Trey do his own thing off the bench. Exum's far better on D than Burke right now. Defensive #s:
