Finding a place for Dante Exum has been a tough go for the Utah Jazz. He was drafted fifth overall with hopes to become a tall point guard with good playmaking skills. Unfortunately injury after injury has knocked Exum out of the rotation for the better part of his career.
He won the starting point guard position as a rookie over Trey Burke, and helped spark the Jazz’s 19-10 finish to the 2014-15 season with a staunch defense. He even had an impressive summer league game with 20 points, five rebounds and five assists, but injuries would claim his summer league and eventually his entire sophomore year.
