SALT LAKE CITY — I am not a terribly patient person. I execute a coasting start at stoplights, just so I can nose ahead. In a bank line, I’m on my way to the teller window before anyone says, “Next!”
Still, I plan to exercise a fair amount of patience regarding Dante Exum. Maybe I’ll eventually start wondering whether the Jazz made a poor choice with the fifth pick of the 2014 draft, if he doesn’t get going sometime next year. But after seeing him miss 166 of his first 314 games, thanks to injuries, and seeing how the Jazz have built a nice team with patience, I’m currently as laid back as a minstrel.
