I can't answer for the Nets. I guess they just weren't high on him but their PF rotation is kind of terrible even though I like Trevor Booker alright.
Go Suns!

I get that. So naturally my next question was, if even the Nets weren't interested, does that mean that they see something wrong with Jones' character? I remember reading somewhere that Marks took the job and made announcements that they plan on doing things right this time round, that they will only take high character guys and build the culture from the ground up, etc etc. So I thought maybe they know something about TJ that regular fans don't.

Anyway I'm beating a dead horse.

If anyone has been watching Dante Exum this year, what do you think of him? How has he looked since coming back from injury? What is his greatest weakness(es)?

Haven't watched much, but I live in Utah and jazz fans aren't too excited about his future anymore. Very cautious. No one thinks he has much star potential anymore. Defensively they like him, but he's not much of a shooter. He's improved a bit at getting to the hoop as he's very fast. Still very very young though.

The reason I asked was that I saw that Frank Ntilikina was compared to Exum with a better jump shot. Just curious how good would that be. I haven't seen him much at all.

Size wise and defensively I see the similarities. It could be pretty accurate, I hope Ntilikina shows more pg skills in the NBA. He's shown them internationally. Exam really hasn't.

If I remember right, didn't they try to compare Exum to a more athletic Penny when he was coming out?

Yep, that hasn't really materialized, but he's still very young and missed a year with his acl injury

When healthy Exum has showed to be a disruptive defender and capable slasher. I don't think he'll be an allstar but I believe he can make a team win.

That sounds like the next Shaun Livingston.
