Since his shoulder injury which could potentially set him back a whole season, Dante Exum has been reshaping his mindset to jump into his rehabilitation. While the Jazz don’t know yet when he’ll be able to return, the message to him has been to be as aggressive in his recovery as he was in his impressive offseason.
How to replace Exum? Well, that’s something the Jazz are still trying to figure out.
The team has a rock-solid starter in place in Ricky Rubio, but there is not yet a second set point guard. Coach Quin Snyder suggested at least initially, that’s how things might remain: The Jazz aren’t opposed to having a lot of different players bring the ball up the floor.
