Dante Exum "strongly leaning toward skipping college"
Posted Nov 12, 2013
ESPN's Chad Ford stated in an online chat Monday that 2014 5-star Australian shooting guard and UNC recruit Dante Exum is likely to jump straight to the NBA: "Hearing from sources that [Dante Exum] and his family are now strongly leaning toward skipping college and having him go straight into the NBA. Some NBA guys think he should be the No. 1 pick. Will be interesting to see how they feel if the college guys all live up to the hype while Exum is just working out in Australia."
