    Another 6'5 wing with some PG skills minus the shooting.

    2020-2021 Stats & ADV Stats

    19 MPG
    18% 3P
    50% FT

    + 1.0
    96.0 Def Rtg
    3.3 Net Rtg
    42.8 TS%
    5.8 PIE

    Not much to write home about except he is good defensively and can go off offensively from time to time.

    An example of Exum going off offensively.

    Dude can't stay on the court though. Has had a horror run of injuries. Keith Jones has a lot of work to do with this squad

    No point of getting too familiar with this guy at all. He'll likely be dealt at the trade deadline since he is an expiring at $9.6 million.

    He's just salary.

    None of the humans currently on the roster matter long term. They're just walking capital to be cashed in or salary to go away.

    All I know him for is his God-awful voice acting in NBA2k and getting his soul taken by James Harden in the closing seconds of that one blowout vs. Utah.

    He's fools gold, don't expect much from him. His fans have been waiting for him to turn into an all-star for years and he hasn't come close.

    Exum is like a poor man's John Wall. He is athletic like Wall, better defensive player than Wall, mediocre playmaking like Wall and a much more horrible shooter than Wall.

    If he is healthy he will give the team some consistency cuz he is like a mini me version of Wall just like how EG is a poor man's version of Oladipo. What I mean is Silas can run the same plays for starters and bench cuz they have the same skillset, he can even mix and match for example Exum with Dipo and run the same play.

    Obv Exum is extremely overpaid, he isnt worth 9M so he is just an expiring. However if he does play great he can be candidate for a 3M extension and we have our long term backup pg. Again assuming he is healthy cuz this dude has had horrific string of injuries.

    I was hoping they would just cut him. No one is going to trade for him at the deadline so he is just deadweight.

    As I could remember, even while in Utah he had lost his first step after coming back from injury.
