In forecasting how minutes will get split at G, don't underestimate Exum. WHEN HE IS HEALTHY, there is no question Exum will play a regular role with solid minutes. And play well.
Other than the injuries, Exum is exactly what Kidd wants in a PG or combo G. He is big, he habitually forces the pace, he shoots 3s at 40%, he plays strong (!!) defense, and passes the ball well with low turnovers. He can be the 2nd ball handler and play SG because his D holds up and he makes 3s.
The Mavs can't prioritize Exum as The Guy because he gets hurt too much. But when he's healthy, he will be a fixture in the lineup.
