MCW just a Shawn Livingston.  Sorry, about that.

Pre-injruy Livingston was much better. 

I'm just hoping that Exum isn't MCW, which I kept saying was my biggest fear during the draft process, but OKB assured me that he wasn't. I still have hope.

how old you are is more important that how many years you played in the L.

Ok...


MCW started college when Wall already had 2 years in the league. Players develop differently.

sure but on average age is the most consistent predictor of future improvment.

Could MCW learn how to shoot/finish at the rim/not turn the ball over/run a team.

Yeah it's possible, but given his age it isn't likely. So trading him away is not unreasonable especially since he was like the 14th pick and a weak draft.

Exum been absolute trash and I was super high on him.


He's only 19 but my god.

 

[pums]

He's scared of contact

He's making a giant jump from australian high school to NBA, and the coach seems to be limiting his role but, lack of agression is worrying from a guy who was all about slashing and finishing at the rim was his calling card when I saw him in fiba play.

Last year, Exum was playing against low level HS competition. Dude is really young and he already took Trey's starting spot. Wouldn't worry about him.

It's like Giannis last year.

I'm sure that can describe tons of players in the league, past and present.

Tony Parker, LeBron James, Jason Kidd. Kawhi Leonard is about to be the next graduate of the Chip Engelland School of Shooting.

Right. So then the odds of improving aren't as low as it sounds.
