My Take
Dante Exum is a fascinating what-could-have-been case to me. An Australian out of Melbourne who skipped college and went fifth overall to Utah in 2014, he arrived with huge expectations as a long, athletic guard. Injuries kept getting in the way, which is the cruel part of his story, but I admire that he stayed in it, eventually landing with Dallas and representing Australia for that 2020 Tokyo bronze. At 198cm he's got rare size for a guard. I find players who weather repeated setbacks and keep contributing more compelling than smooth, uninterrupted careers. He earned that medal.
