I don't think you can definitively claim that Exum and especially DJJ are better players at this point. I am close to agreeing on Exum, but he needs to stay healthy and play well consistently for a while to get me there. I FOR SURE don't think DJJ is better. Different, for sure, and different in a way that makes him uber valuable on this team. I could go along with better "for this team" even if I don't fully agree, but if both players were on the street right now, trying to get a minimum contract to finish the season I feel strongly that Hardaway would be much more in demand.
I didn't mean to say that DJJ and Exum are better than THJ although I think they probably have been somewhat better thus far this season. I meant that THJ has clearly been better than the players I listed.
The THJ and Dwight Powell hate is unreasonable. There should be more Maxi Kleber hate. He's missed most of the season with a pinky toe injury. There are plenty of grandmas who have their toes amputated and are back to full speed two weeks later. Maxi has become our Ben Simmons.
