8. Dante Exum – Utah Jazz/PG

Last Week: No. 9

Over the week Dante Exum has made some strides in his game.

Against the Atlanta Hawks he had one of the best games of his career, scoring 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting from the floor and 3-for-7 shooting from the three-point line. In addition Exum also had two rebounds, two assists and three steals.

After his game against the Hawks, Exum did what most rookies do in this stage of their career, he took a step back. In 23 minutes against the Minnesota Timberwolves he scored three points while shooting a putrid 1-for-7 from the floor.

However Exum did have a groundbreaking moment of his career this week he started for the first time in the league. In his first star while playing against the Indiana Pacers Exum scored 13 points.

Against the Chicago Bulls in the last game of the week Exum finished with two points and three assists.
