When the Utah Jazz signed combo guard Dante Exum to a three-year, $33 million deal this summer, some people slammed the deal, calling it a massive overpay. Given the fact that he’s played in less than half of his team’s games over four years and has yet to find his footing as a player, it’s not hard to understand why.
But the Jazz still see gold in the former No. 5 overall pick (and No. 7 in our Jazz player rankings for 2018). And, for his part, Exum continues to show all the things that got people excited back in 2014.
