Dante Exum finds himself drained as he has just concluded participating in the NBA Summer League this year for 7 days. He still needs to face another challenge in his career, though.
Exum looks up to Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker that he thought he could never compare to these two legendary NBA heores. Since Exum is from Australia, he has never thought he could steal the limelight in America's famous national sports association.
Many experts don't rely on predicting the pattern of success Exum may take. Experts argue that it's hard to bank on a player, especially someone as amateur as Exum.
Being the NBA's fifth overall draft choice, Exum knows a lot of challenges are in store for him when the regular season comes around.
Exum openly told reporters:
"I've heard from so many people that it is a grind,"
"It's going to be so much different to what I'm used to, so I'm just looking forward to getting into it."
Exum holds a record of 6.8 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.8 turnovers in each games he's played so far for the summer league.
Exum has shown confidence when implementing an offense with point guard, Trey Burke.
He commented on this experience, saying:
"I still want to get the ball in my hands as much as possible,"
"With Coach's system, it's open. But there's been so many times where I've just gone away from the ball and let Trey take it."
Fans have never ceased to watch in amazement as Exum works the game out successfully with Burke.
