He was the Australian mystery man entering the 2014 NBA Draft, but after being selected fifth overall by the Utah Jazz, it became obvious they may have asked too much too soon from Dante Exum.

Exum played in every game as a rookie in 2014-15 and made 41 starts, but striggled shooting the ball, struggled as a playmaker and struggled to defend. Otherwise, he was terrific.

Here are his per-game numbers:

Age	G	GS	MP	FG	FGA	FG%	3P	3PA	3P%	eFG%	FT	FTA	FT%	TRB	AST	STL	BLK	TOV	PF	PTS

Exum tore the ACL in his left knee during international play for Australia in the summer of 2015 and was expected to miss the entire 2015-16 season.
