Apparently there were no kangaroos on the Utah campus to picture Bogut with at the time. Now another Australian has come to the state. But Dante Exum is not playing for the Utes. He is an associate of and in search but should youn't mind. Having said that, 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 Awesome Aussie. Seems harmless enough. ?Everyone's trying to give me a nickname, Exum said with a laugh at the Vegas Summer League. ?Just call me &Dante.' Or &D.' The puzzle guy of this year's NBA Draft, Exum was out of sight and out of head for most devotees. But Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey kept close tabs on him. When the Philadelphia 76ers passed on Exum with the third pick, Lindsey knew Exum probably would be on the board when the Jazz picked at No. 5, after the Orlando Magic. ?We believe it's a great fit with what we are trying to do, Lindsey said. & Lindsey does a lot of things good, and we think he can help us in many different ways. And he is an excellent individual who comes from wonderful parents who raised him right. Exum also has an effervescent style. The nighttime he was drafted, he seemed on several advertisements for Foot Locker that showed him making fun of himself and being a bit of a ham. Exum said,?My friends do not believe I'm amusing. I loved doing the commercials. My agent set it up. My Agent believed it'd be a good method to introduce myself to America. Exum knows he's plenty to adjust to on and off the court. Himself believes he will enjoy living in Salt Lake City as he learns to reside in a brand new state and a different culture. Himself also understands he must get stronger physically to compete in the NBA. Lindsey said of the summer league,?It's more physical and a little quicker than myself'm used to. ?But myself feel comfortable out there. It is basketball. You go out and play and you adapt. He has a little bit of an unorthodox launch on his jump shot, somewhat like Shawn Marion's. Exum said he k cheap nike blazers for women.ows defenders get up on shooters quicker in the NBA, so he must learn shoot faster and to create space for himself. But he has gotten the ball to teammates. Exum said,?I am getting more comfortable with my teammates. ?I am learning where teammates enjoy to have the ball, and I'm trying to get them involved in the offense. Lindsey's also having fun in Vegas. Exum turned 19 and included in his birthday party, he took a spin at the Linq on the High Roller observation wheel. Lindsey posted an image on Instagram at the top of the wheel. ?I adore all the lights, he said of Vegas. ?it is an exciting city. And while Exum is already creating excitement for Utah buffs that have shown up in large numbers Lindsey needs to be careful concerning expectations. He said,?We just need himself let nature take its class and to develop naturally. ? Players are like water? they always locate their degree? and we believe in time Dante will find his. Maybe he'll reach th pink nike blazers women.? degree that is Awesome and can earn that nickname.
