G/SF DAL
Exum has struggled through five preseason games while shooting just 40.7 percent from the field to go along with 2.8 turnovers committed during an average of 20.0 minutes per contest.
Exum certainly won't be able to correct all of his rookie hiccups before the Jazz start their regular season against the Rockets on Wednesday, rather, he'll be coming off the bench and learning the ropes at an appropriate pace. He will start the season in a time share at point guard with Trey Burke, although Burke seems like the better fantasy option at this point in the preseason. The import from Australia will likely progress his abilities over the stretch of his rookie campaign even though things have gotten off to a slow start as coach Quin Snyder seems to think that Exum's lack of strength is affecting his propensity to turn the ball over. This may ultimately cause Exum's value to be curbed until Snyder has faith in putting the 19-year-old at the helm of Utah's offense.
