If a mastermind coach like Kidd think it then it's good for sure...

It's very questionable talking about 2 players lineups in basketball. But it's true that Exum has incredible +/-, on/off numbers. So he's basically crucial in all lineups.

Exum is +15.4 and +18.6 on/off. He's just incredible for Mavs and the main reason, together with THJ's scoring, for Mavs winning without Kyrie. Luka can average 50 and Mavs would lose without those 2, when Kyrie is not playing.

Mavs have 4 crucial players this year. Luka, Exum, THJ and Lively. All others wasn't that important for winning. The biggest disappointment Josh, Hardy and Kleber. Powell shouldn't be in rotation anymore.

I'm beginning to think Morris might actually become a good fit in the rotation. He is bigger and stronger than all of our wings and has the ability to help spread the floor.
He also gives this team a little bit of an attitude element that has been missing.
Wouldnt surprise me if he ends up with Maxi's expected role before the end of the season.

It's very sad to think old and washed Markieff Morris fit in the rotation :noway: ,he is just a bench warmer at this age

With all the doubters of Exum's resurgence to relevance ,here's some players who probably don't doubt what Exum can do because they played against when he was healthy. #3 Joel Embiid , #4 Aaron Gordon ,#1 Andrew Wiggins ,Julius Randle ,Zach Lavine ,Nichola Jokic,Marcus Smart.

Their all the same age and entering their prime .Does anyone say Exum has done what they have done in their careers ,NO. But basketball talent wise ,they probaly dont doubt Exum is legit .

While Hardaway is starting on Christmas, head coach Jason Kidd said before the game that once Kyrie Irving returns from his heel injury, the starting five will be Doncic, Irving, Exum, Jones and Lively, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN (link).


Shed your tears now for Grant Williams but Derek Jones Jr has been steadily emerging on both ends of the court as Exum has done. Exum and Jones were awesome on defense against Booker and Durant last night.
