2014 NBA Mock Draft: An in-depth look at both rounds
By Joe Nardone
Because Exum is a mystery or something
4. Orlando Magic — Dante Exum, PG/SG, Australian Institute of Sport
H: 6′ 6″ W: 196 lbs DOB: 07/13/1995
Not a single human being on our planet can tell you a thing about Exum other than him being a really nice kid. It is weird that we use that quality to prop him up so much considering we usually use it as a way to say a guy lacks a killer instinct. Eh, I digress. Exum’s greatest attribute is apparently his ability to stay a mystery. Which is great for us dopes making the 2014 NBA Mock Drafts, but not so swell for a General Manager who has their job on the line.
I obviously have huge concerns with this pick, but who am I to argue with guys that say Das Wonderkid (patent pending) is all that and a bag of chips. The question going forward concerning Exum still remains: Is he a big, athletic point guard or a normal sized shooting guard who can’t actually shoot? Because, trust me, that will certainly alter how we view him as we get closer to the draft and evaluate him as a player when he actually hits the league. — Joe
