Just before the 2014 NBA Draft, Dante Exum was basketball’s “International Man of Mystery.” The (then) teen Aussie was drawing comparisons to players like Anfernee Hardaway and had a combination of speed and length that had scouts drooling over his potential. However, there was precious little footage of him actually competing on the floor against other high-level prospects.
Following his season-killing injury last summer, the jury is still out on Exum. No one can say with a great level of certainty whether or not he can reach the superstar ceiling that had some talking about him as a potential No.
