My fellow Dante Exum Islanders:
It’s been an up-and-down season for the Island in 2018-19.
Over the first seven games, Exum averaged 10 points, 2.4 rebounds and two assists (19.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per 36 minutes). He was plus-15 in 132 minutes.
One area for concern was his below-average .527 True Shooting Percentage. But that was about it. The defense, ball control and attacking all looked pretty good. And Utah Jazz fans from around the world were arriving on the Island in their makeshift rafts in droves.
Exum’s next 16 games (and the team’s next 17), though, tested the mettle of some of the Island’s bravest residents.
