 Hey Nick, Your one of my favorite posters so I'll give you the dirt on Exum the way I see it. I give him a 70% chance of being awesome in the league. You do have a better chance at a sure thing in Smart or Randle. But Exum Ceiling is worth the risk IMO.

 What concerns me about him is his lack of strength. And he could go Darko on you. However this kid is lightning fast with the ball and with the NBA rules he will be a mismatch at multiple positions. He does not have an outstanding vertical  leap although it is good. But he compares to Penny Hardaway, an inch shorter but probably even quicker off the dribble with a legendary first step, he blows buy people and finishes at 100 miles per hour.  Add to that he has a great stroke with good range, and he's an outstanding passer, and is the Australian prodigy.

 And I do respect Australian Basketball. And he is supposed to be there best prospect in the last 20 Years. A Rondo Exum back court could be the best in the East.

If this guy actually measures up to healthy Penny I will be super excited, regardless of what team he plays for.

This is what scares me about Exum.   I don't respect the level of competition as much as the NCAA.

Which would be great, We could slide him right in at two guard and let Rondo feed him the ball and make him into a scorer, and of course he still would be a play maker given his passing abilities.

If we land Exum, we don't need Anderson.  I'd trade our second 1st rounder plus extra pieces for an established NBA player like Larry Sanders or Monroe.  If we can't swing a trade for a veteran player, then you take the best available big or SF.

PS  This is working off the assumption that we get the #4 pick and draft Exum.  If we land top 3, it's gotta be 1 of Wiggins/Parker/Embiid.
