Number 5 overall – Dante Exum
Height: 6’6″
Position: Combo guard
College: Australia
He was the greatest mystery heading into draft night, but Utah fans and we feel the rest of the NBA will catch on really quick why Dante Exum is the highest picked guard this year.
His game at this stage is like a unrefined Derrick Rose, only with a bigger body.
Able to get to the rim and score at the basket he also showed exceptional basketball IQ and an impressive mentality during draft workouts.
He needs to work on his jumper and be more consistent from medium and long range, but he has the highest ceiling of any guard in the draft, including Marcus Smart, who is a safer pick but does not have the same X-factor that shrouds Exum currently.
