    Default Dante Exum will be the best player out of this draft class...

    Wiggins doesnt have that cold-blooded mentality, Jabari doesnt play good defense and Embiid has back issues. They're all still gonna be good, but Exum will be the best. He has that winner mentality. People dont rate him as highly as these college guys because he's Australian, but he'll be better than all of them.

    I really hope the Celtics take him in the Draft...

    He has huge potential along with Embiid.

    Being an Aussie and a Lakers fan, I'd love for the Lakers to draft him.

    This is the guy I want the Celtics to get if they can get Embiid, Parker, or Wiggins.

    I get a good vibe from watching him play, though his competition in Australia sucks. He looked good against team USA though.

    His body movement & his passing ability are elite, really hard to evaluate his defense because of the competition, but he's athletic enough to be at least medicore. If we don't move up in the lotto & he's available, I wouldn't mind getting him. We need a young, explosive PG.

    I've seen some of his film..he's often compared to Penny Hardaway and I don't think those comparisons are that far off. His first step explosion is crazy quick..very athletic and explosive overall..also very good ballhandler, good passer which can allow him to stay at PG, and I like that he hustles on both sides. Gotta work on the J & obviously competition is gonna be tougher but he's gonna be a good one.

    He's like a taller John Wall.

    minus lower body strength. Wall has that explosion. Exum seems like a smoothness guy as opposed to an explosive athlete. still quick.

    comparison that no one has thrown out there- MANU!!!! (tall athletic combo guard with a great handle and a penchant for throwing flashy passes)

    I guess that's where the Penny comparison comes in. Imo, he's a mix of both Wall and Penny.

    Really think you're underrating Exum's athleticism p.

    Ahh yes, the mystical "winner mentality". Definitely the best way to scout a player.

    Why get him when you have Rondo?

    I think he looks like a great athlete to me, but he doesn't explode off 2 feet like Wall or Rose. Long reach should make up for it
