They have a good team, I expected young prospect Ben Simmons to make the cut, a bit surprised he didn't.

Same here, as I was expecting Lemanis to take both Exum and Simmons but alas it did not. Lemanis did say that Simmons will make the cut soon in the near future.

Utah Jazz are really tracking the progress of not only Exum but also Motum; as the latter won a training camp invite right after the world cup ends. Maybe Motum will join Exum in the NBA next season.

Boomers winning over Ukraine 75-60. Dante Exum with 14points and shooting 6/7 with great composure. He looked very confident in this game.

Eastern Washington Eagles' 6'8" junior PF Venky Jois (1993) is quietly having a nice season so far. Very effective near the rim.
