He balled at the Fiba tournament. I also don't get why people keep calling him a PG. From the stuff I've seen he looks like a 2 guard.

Yeah dude is a combo guard from what I've seen, I would mainly stick him at the two

He played against Team USA which started Elfrid Payton and Marcus Smart. Smart stole his ball twice actually. Exum did score 7 points in the 13 minutes he played total, but he did have 4 turnovers. I'm not sure if Smart guarded him the whole time as there is no available reply video for it.

He really played well against Spain I think. That footage is on youtube. I think not having a lot out there on him is a huge help for him. But the tools are there for him..his first step is ridiculous breh.

Interesting to see Fran critique Aaron Gordon's defense after it was worshipped all year. Shocking to see James Young almost measure out at damn near 6'8. Lavine isn't a pg either. But these settings are made for him.
How will his defense transfer over when he has no position?

And when the measurements come out as far as speed, you'll find that Gordon's not all that fast. He has springs but he can't run as well as you think.

doubt it. seems like his stock is only on the rise.
for his stock to rise, he has to show that he's not gonna kill you when his shot isn't falling. If he could do that he's a top 10 lock, but I haven't gotten the sense that he can do that immediately.

Exum refers to himself as a PG.

I think Young goes before Gary Harris now, Harris is fukking tiny for an SG.

He can shoot the daylights out of that rock and that's why he should go ahead of any other SG. His wingspan is good enough to where he can still be decent on D. If he had a shorter wingspan I'd sour on his prospects.

:Pause: if Marcus Smart is in fact a PG he has to be the thickest/muscular pg I've sen...6'4 225 athletic not much of a shooter but seems tough think he will be a good lead guard for teams.

How the hell is Julius Randle 22 years old was that a typo on the combine?

I don't wanna say he's clumsy but he runs kind of robotic which is how he plays to me. Like he never makes a play look smooth like say a Paul George can. He still thinks he's a 3. I think he's gonna play the 4 in the league though.
