If I were able to give out the broken heart emoji as a grade for Dante Exum this season I would.
After putting in the work this offseason, Exum finally looked healthy and primed to take the much-anticipated next step in his career. That was, however, before he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the pre-season.
Exum’s ceiling, to quote His Airness himself, “is the roof”, but we may never get to see if he can reach his lofty potential.

That video never gets old.
The question is whether or not the Jazz have seen enough to re-sign the oft-injured, intriguing young player. Until then, an “I” for Incomplete is all we can really give Exum.
