Team:FC BarcelonaPosition:PGAge:26Height:198 cmWeight:86 kgBirth place:Melbourne, AustraliaProfileNewsStatistics

Exum joined FC Barcelona in the middle of last season. Over 25 EuroLeague games with the Catalans, the 26-year-old averaged 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, as opposed to 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.2 dimes in the ACB League.

The 26-year-old Exum was the fifth overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft (Utah Jazz) but hasn't met the expectations. He has been injury-prone, including missing the entire 2015-16 season due to an ACL tear in his left knee.

Exum has NBA career averages of 5.7 points and 2.1 assists in 245 games (72 starts) with the Jazz (2014-19) and Cleveland Cavaliers (2019-21). He has shot 40.7 percent from the field, including 30.5 percent from the 3-point range.

The 1.96-meter was also a part of the Australian national team in the Tokyo Olympics last summer.

He helped Australia win bronze medals by registering 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 9.2 PIR over 20 minutes.
