Substituting Exum for Grant Williams in the starting lineup makes us even smaller. It also kills our spacing. I think Exum works bell as the third ball handler behind Luka and Kyrie. He has been a good find and I think is a useful rotation player. He isn't a starter though.
It's nice to have a guy who's 6'5 on the bench though who plays defense, run the offense and pressures the rim.
Couldn't disagree any more with this post. Do you even watch basketball? Exum provides size, defense, offensive versatility and as an extra bonus...rebounding.
He is our fifth starter.
Seriously, he's looking pretty good and has clearly outplayed both Hardy and Green (and Curry). He's a 25-30 mpg player regardless of whether he starts or not Signing him to the contract we did this summer was a winning move. This last offseason really changed our teams future for the better.
