Josh missed his second FIBA warm-up game in the Aussies loss to Brazil. I've watched full highlights of both of their games and came away impressed with Exum. He and Ingles are running the second unit. Exum is a tough scrappy guy. Not the tooth pick I remember in Utah. He's a relentless driver and looks good on the break.
He'll certainly have a role on nights one of Luka/Kyrie have to sit...maybe more. I think he fits in the Exum, Curry, Jones class (Powell may be in this class too). Not much of a commitment from Dallas, but experienced guys who are used to getting minutes who can hold down the fort as Hardy, OMax and Lively grow up. Whether the kids will be the 10-13 guys or the vets will be the 10-13 guys on the roster is still to be seen. But either way, it is a much better use of those roster spots than we are accustomed to.
