Ryan Broekhoff getting some media hype. Shooting very well. Could find himself in the NBA sooner rather than later.

Love Dante but if you're playing Simmons and Baynes you need more shooting from that spot to open the floor. Delly most likely.
I would think you would split Dante and Simmons , use Dante off the bench when Simmons is resting. Both players able to get in lanes and kick out to shooters. Don’t want them playing too many minutes together at all.

Speaking of Dantè, he should be returning sometime in March!

“Josh Green | 6-6 | PG/SG
Australia | Age: 17.2
The breakout performer of the camp, Green was a rightful MVP and proved to be one of the top NBA prospects in attendance. The Australian guard combines excellent physical tools (6-5 barefoot, 6-10 wingspan) with a strong frame, smooth athleticism and a polished skill set, operating on the ball almost full time and showing an innate ability to operate at different speeds and create for both himself and his teammates at a very high level. Green has excellent footwork and body control, handling the ball on a string, seeing both sides of the court and using his vision unselfishly. He has very soft touch on his floaters and can make a pull-up from the mid-range, but he's still figuring out the nuances of finishing aggressively around the basket and has yet to fully extend his jumper out to 3 consistently (career 34 percent on 3s, 67 perfect on free throws, according to Krossover). His release is a little slow and low, but he has soft touch and the ball comes out of his hand nicely, leaving room for optimism regarding his ability to improve in this area.
He competes defensively as well, thanks to his quick feet and long arms, and shows good instincts getting in the passing lanes, making him arguably the most complete player at the camp with plenty of upside to continue to improve as well. Ranked in the 20s by most recruiting analysts, Green made a strong case for himself as a top-10 player in the 2019 class and is likely to emerge as an intriguing NBA prospect down the road as well if he continues to improve his shooting. -- Jonathan Givony”

Started off a bench player playing ~15 mins a game but his play has earned him a starting spot.
Shooting the lights out from 3.
Doesn't seem to do much outside of that though.
The best team in international play, like the NBA spread the floor with shooters. Having three non-shooters just won't work for extended minutes. We have the players to be able to do it so we should. Could bring exum and thon/bolden in for delly and baynes, we don't need all our most talented players to be on court at once if it doesn't work stylistically

Dantè Exum is expected to return sometime this week. It'll be interesting how he fits with the team, especially while they are playing extremely well without him.
He should get Raul Neto's minutes as he is out injured. I'm very excited to see Dantè and Donovan play together.

I'm just excited to see Exum play
Looked better than Mitchell in preseason before going down. Such a shame
If he plays 5 mins a quarter he is doing ok
Won't be playing 20 minutes a game first up but hopefully there by time playoffs come around. Jazz could use the backcourt help.
Next four games for jazz. Suns, kings, Hawks, mavs. Perfect time to come back and be eased in. Should be plenty of blow out minutes available to get the rust out

10points in 14 minutes in exums return.
Pretty solid but it was phoenix (in yet another blowout) so not gonna look too much into it yet.

watched the game while working. From what I saw he was super aggressive and had a couple of attempts at the rim roll out. They couldn't stop him getting to the rim.
All in all a good game for a first game back.
Great to have one of my all time favourite Australian ballers back on the court.
Watched the game on LeaguePass and completely agree with the above. Penetration was fantastic. Great to have Dante back on the court.
