I can agree with you there. some of the homerism around here is pretty crazy.
. Exum could be great still, but his hype seemed to be slightly exaggerated.

Slightly is an understament. I have heard a young Kobe Bryant and Penny Hardaway thrown around by numerous people. I went and watched some high school Kobe and college Penny footage and both are laughable for a comparison.

Yeah both of those are pretty laughable at this point. Been waiting for another Penny for years now this dude ain't that.

The only reason people say Penny is because he is tall, I think a better comparison would be a taller Tony Parker. btw, definitely not saying he will be as good as TP, just play similar to him.

On ball defense? Foot work? Shooting ability? Volume scoring? Working out the post?
And while I like the Tony Parker comparison, I think Exum can be a better defender and shooter and he has the physical dimensions to work out the post down the line.

You want to compare Kobe who had a full career to Penny who we never saw in his prime? The short time Penny was in the league to 97 (first major injury) You could see Penny had it all. I doubt he would have been the volume scorer & defender Kobe became, but no doubt he was a better passer, leader, teammate, and post player.

Back on TOPIC Dante has the potential to be an excellent player and if healthy surpass Penny as far as accolades and achievements go. But their games aren't at all similar outside of height and length. Exum needs a lot more work to reach Penny's skill level.

Leader and teammate is subjective and you've never played with either guy...... also 5 rings
Post game? You must be trolling.
