re: TDBA: The Franchise, Year 3: Draft In Progress

Return of Exum

After missing all of the 2015-16 season, Utah's Dante Exum is fully recovered from ACL surgery on his left knee and highlights the list of newcomers to the Top 200. Any concerns of lingering effects from the lost season have been squashed during the preseason, as Exum has looked like a totally different player than the wide-eyed rookie of two seasons ago. His scoring and passing have been on display throughout the preseason, propelling him to No. 157 on the rankings as he enters the season as one of the main guards in the Jazz rotation along with George Hill, Alec Burks and Rodney Hood. Remember, we're talking about a player who is still only 21 and just two years removed from being the No. 5 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft.

Then you overpaid for Kemba.

Yea he gave up a shite load

Speaking of that trade, need to add me getting 21's first rounder to the league page.

Clarkson > Stanley
Len > Portis

Pick gotta be involved

If were talking about October 26th, sure

In a dynasty, I believe it's closer than you think, mate

Draymond got nothing on Randle

2nd year player...will improve.

That sounds like I'm h8in

A dbl dbl floor youngster like Randle is nice already, anything else he does is langniappe

Just hate overexaggerated hype trains - gotta do A LOT to hit draymond fantasy #s - IRL type of draymond guy, ok I see it

That's a lotta assist big P. If he can average that much he's a top 15 player even w mediocre %s

I think 2-3 is more realistic, which is still very valuable given the position and makes him a top 50 type guy w the dbl dbl and a steal per

Need to see how the usage shakes out in LAL with Russell Lou W clarkson deng Ingram plus new coaching philosophy - no doubt Walton should rub off on Randle positively
