After a three-week stretch where Dante Exum contributed in scoring consistently, the Australian has hit the rookie wall this week in games played from Nov. 21 to Nov 24, 2014. The young 20-year-old couldn’t find the basket in three games against three quality teams, Golden State Warriors, New Orleans Pelicans and Chicago Bulls as his Utah Jazz went winless in this stretch.

How’s Exum doing so far in his NBA season debut? Here’s a list of the previous week-by-week recap of the performance by the Australian:

The good news is that Jazz head coach Quin Snyder is still trusting Exum with a solid playing time getting 17.3 minutes per game in the Jazz’s 0-3 week. The Australian has only scored a total of four points however but contributed in other aspects with 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Exum shot 2-of-11 field goals in the 3 games combined and missed all of his 3 shots from behind the arc.

Below is the game-by-game recap from Exum in the last three outings:

Exum vs. Golden State Warriors (Nov 21, 2014, Jazz lost, 97-95) - 22 minutes, 2 points (1/5 FGs, 0/2 3FGs), 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 4 turnovers

Exum vs. New Orleans Pelicans (Nov. 22, 2014, Jazz lost 106-94) - 19 minutes, 2 points (1/5 FGs, 0/1 3FGs), 1 rebound and 1 assist

Exum vs. Chicago Bulls (Nov. 24, 2014, Jazz lost 101-88) - 11 minutes, 0 points (0/1 FG), 2 rebounds and 1 assist

The Jazz currently own a 5-10 win-loss record and are in their longest losing streak of the season. How will the team, particularly Exum, respond after the bad stretch? Utah and Exum takes on the Oklahoma City Thunder (Nov. 26), Los Angeles Clippers (Nov. 29) and Denver Nuggets (Dec. 1) in their next three games.
