Seemingly there were no kangaroos to picture Bogut with at the time. Now the state has been come to by another Australian. But Dante Exum is not playing for the Utes. He is a member of and in search but if you don't mind. Nevertheless, perhaps the Jazz can borrow the old Bogut campaign slogan and let Exum, a 19-year old, 6-foot-6-inch guard from Melbourne who played at the Australian Institute of Sport, become ?The Amazing Aussie. Seems harmless enough. ?Everyone's trying to give a nickname to me, Exum said with a laugh at the Vegas Summer League at UNLV. ?Just call me &Dante.' Or &D.' This year's NBA Draft's mystery guy, Exum was for most fans out of sight and nike blazer low vintage.out of mind. But Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey kept close tabs on him. When the Philadelphia 76ers passed on Exum with the third pick, Lindsey understood Exum likely would be on the board when the Jazz picked at No. 5, after the Orlando Magic. Sure enough, Exum was there, and the Jazz had their guy. ?We believe it is a great fit with womens pink nike blazers.hat we're attempting to do, Lindsey said. & Exum does a lot of things well, and we think we can be helped by him in many different manners. And he's a really good man who comes from amazing parents. Exum also offers an effervescent style. The night he was drafted, he appeared on a couple of advertisements for Foot Locker that revealed him being a small ham and making fun of himself. Lindsey said,?My buddies don't believe I am amusing. ?But I do. I appreciated doing the advertisements. My agent set up it. My Agent thought it'd be a great way to introduce myself to America. Exum understands he has plenty to adapt to on and off the court. Exum thinks he'll love living in Salt Lake City as he learns to stay in an alternate culture and a new country. He said of the summertime league,?It's a little faster and a little more physical than I'm used to. ?But myself feel comfortable out there. It is basketball. You go out and play and you adapt. He's a little bit of an unorthodox launch somewhat like Shawn Marion's. Exum said he knows defenders get on shooters faster in the NBA, so he must learn to create space for himself and shoot quicker. In three summer league games, Exum has averaged 7.3 points and 3.0 assists but made just 2 of 9 3-point tries. But he's gotten the ball. On Monday he made a head fake and crossover dribble move that left the Bucks' CJ Williams grasping at atmosphere and the buffs in the Thomas &Mack Center oohing. He is averaging 3.0 assists for the 2-1 Jazz and seems to have the pick-and-roll component down. ?I am getting more comfortable Exum said. ?I am learning where my teammates enjoy to have the ball, and I'm trying to get them involved in the offense. He is also having fun in Las Vegas. Exum turned 19 and as part of his birthday celebration, he took a spin on the High Roller observation wheel at the Linq. Himself posted an image at the top of the wheel on Instagram. Himself said of Las Vegas,?myself adore all the lights. ?It's an exciting city. And while Exum is creating excitement for Utah enthusiasts who've shown up in large numbers Lindsey desires to be cautious concerning expectations for the rookie. He said,?We only want him let nature take its course and to develop. ? Players they constantly locate their amount? and we believe in time Dante will find his. Maybe he'll can earn that nickname and reach the?Awesome amount.
