When he was drafted, and for the first few years of his career, Dante Exum was adamant about being a point guard.
Some of that was because he was drafted just a year after Trey Burke. Exum didn’t work out for the Jazz, with the thought from his representation being, essentially, “They already have a young point guard, why would they take Exum?” But when Orlando surprisingly took Aaron Gordon No. 4 in 2014, the Jazz pounced on Exum at No. 5. Would Exum or Burke be Utah’s point guard?
Truth be told, Exum won that battle nearly immediately.
