Here's the only full game i could find on Youtube. I think commentary is in Spanish though. If anyone else has a link to other games please share.
Maybe you guys can anaylze what you think his strengths and weaknesses are from this video.

Re: Dante Exum Thread
Just finished the Australian Schools Championship
Averaged 27/8 and his team won the grand final
It's not the greatest competition, but there was nothing to fault him on... assume he will go back to the AIS (Institute of Sport) for the time being to continue training for whatevers next

Re: Dante Exum Thread
A few things I would love to know when Exum declares: Will teams demand that he workout against the other top guards? Will he allow himself to be seen against the top guards?
I would really love to see how Exum, who is currently playing against Australian HS kids, will look against superior athletes like Smart, Lavine and Semaj Christian. They should put those workouts on television.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

I know at least one team releases workout footage.
Because I remember Mason Plumlee failing miserably when he tried to throw the ball off the backboard and dunk on a defender.

Re: Dante Exum Thread
Can't he declare for the draft, try out with the teams to see what everyone says and decide if he actually wants to join the draft or go to college? Isn't that was Dario Saric did?

If Exum declares he is a lock to go top 10 and probably top 5 in next years draft....Saric was different as he wanted to see if he wanted to see how his draft stock was...probably wanted to go lottery.

Will Exum declare? if he doesnt which College will be the best fit? or which college needs him the most?

I think Exum would excel in Oregon's offense. That said, I have no idea why he would even want to play in college.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

First real clip I've seen of Exum, and I'm in shock. This dude is amazing. He's def a step above Smart. Hope the Magic can get him!

Watch him vs. Spain in the World Tnmt, the game is in youtube, he completely destroyed a capable spanish team.
He looked like Kobe that day, and I think that's his ceiling.

Re: Dante Exum Thread
I don't really see the point of him going to college for one year. He's already a top ten pick at the worst.

Yeah he just needs to declare.

I don't see how he is not top5, seriously.
He plays the weakest position at the NBA right now and is by far the best prospect in this class, and probably the best one in many years, I don't really recall a better SG prospect than Exum since probably Bryant (Wade has been great but he wasn't that good as a prospect prior the Draft).
Wiggins could be there if he ends up as a SG, but with his handles I don't see it.

What if this dude can play PG? Can anyone reject that claim with what little we've seen of him?
