When Dante Exum entered the hallowed halls of the Association with the Utah Jazz way back in 2014, the world was his oyster. He may have been his draft’s international man of mystery, with limited tape on his actual hardwood exploits, but what was available had some people comparing him to Kobe and MJ. Yup, those were actually things.
Nearly five years later, a career that once seemed brimming with potential has been rife with horror stories. Massive injuries, inconsistency and what has to be the quickest hook you’ll ever see from a head coach have completely smashed Exum’s attempts to gain a foothold in the NBA.
