Dante Exum (@daanteee) told ESPN that he still intends to set up college visits to 5 finalists soon -- Indiana, UNC, UK, Michigan, Oregon.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) December 19, 2013 Goodman added that most people around the NBA still believe Exum will declare for the 2014 draft, which has been the case for a while now. A report in early December indicated he was setting up meetings with agents to discuss the possibility of turning pro.
Jonathan Tjarks: Dante Exum, the best prospect you probably don't know
Exum is currently projected as a top-five pick on both DraftExpress and ESPN.com. Even in a stacked draft class, the 6’6 combo guard prospect has league executives’ attention. If he chose to go the college route and develop his game, it would be a mild shock akin to when Marcus Smart announced his decision to return to Oklahoma State for this season. It could be an opportunity for him to develop his point guard skills, though.
