Quite different to last years version. He seems to be more focused on just swinging the ball on to the next guy unless he's spotted up for a corner 3.
The main differences are in fundamentals. Exum plays like Pg, always in control and composed, can be used as ball handler in half court situations and is capable of pretty solid drives too. Josh is capable only in some open court situations and corner 3 shooting. The difference in skills between those 2 is enormous.
It sounds odd, I think we need to set some screens for Green so that he can have some straight line drive, just like what we do to create some space for THJ to shoot 3 ball, so as to boost Green's confidence a little bit. DJJ's game actually is quite similar to Green, except he is longer than Green, and DJJ obviously is having high confidence right now.
I mean offensively I'm not even bothered by his passivity as long as he keeps knocking down 3s at 40% ish. What does concern me a bit is on defense he goes under the screen a lot more often this year than in the past. Last night Exum managed to squeeze past the screener a few times where Josh would not. Maybe the long summer wasn't great for him... not sure. He played a lot more minutes for OZ than Exum did.
