Utah Jazz: Dante Exum

Dante Exum has been a slight disappointment thus far for the Utah Jazz. The former 5th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft is out to prove that he can play in this league.

Exum had a very underwhelming rookie year as he only averaged 4.8 points and 2.4 assists per game. However, with a lot of growth to come, the 21-year-old should be coming back this season with a vengeance after missing the entire season to injury.

Exum is a talented combo guard who needs to develop a jumper; once he develops an outside shot, he could be dangerous.
