It’s been a long tumultuous road for Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum in his NBA career thus far. Touted as a potential superstar, there was general euphoria when he was drafted number five overall by the Jazz back in the 2014 NBA Draft. Here was a guy who could very well become the team’s next legitimate superstar.
Unfortunately, Jazz fans know the story from there all too well – injury after injury, setback after setback. Exum has shown glimpses, most certainly, of the sky-high potential that earned him such high lottery praise. But an inability to remain on the court has dramatically hindered his chances at success.
