He increases the pace and and is aggressive attacking the rim. His outside shot has been spotty and I think this would stand out if he started the games with Luka and Kyrie.
I was thinking last night that while they are different players and skill sets, I wonder if we could capture the Luka, Brunson, Dinwiddie magic with Luka, Kyrie and Exum. Exum is different from Dinwiddie but at least size wise he can bring that to the table. Having two guys who can create on the floor at all times seems to really help this offense. Especially if most of the other players are a a little limited in this.
I like the comparison. He obviously can't score like Din, but his defense is off the charts better. He definitely needs more minutes which will come from Timmy/Hardy. Or maybe they will come from Green, who has been really disappointing this year, particularly on defense.
