Dante Exum could play positions from point guard to power forward for the Jazz ... when he’s ready to play

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.
