The Los Angeles Lakers are already beginning to do due diligence on Dante
Exum.
湖人隊最近開始對選秀大熱門－「準澳洲之光」Dante Exum積極地做研究。
''I got a call from the Lakers asking about him and they may end up with a
good pick," Luc Longley said.
公牛王朝時期老將Luc Longley對媒體坦承此事，他說：「幾天前我才收到湖人那裡打來
的電話，顯然是因為他們今年有機會獲得高選秀順位的關係吧。」
''I've had a few calls from other NBA teams mostly asking about him, they see
the skill package but these days they're all concerned about character.
「除了湖人外，其他球隊也有Call過我詢問Exum的資訊。當然，他們應該是看過這小子的
球賽精華片段，所以他們主要是問我關於他個性的疑問。」
''That will help push Dante further up the draft, because he's the type of
person they'd want to have in an organization."
「但Dante的個性對他選秀順位絕對是加分，因為他正是那種會讓所有球隊都希望選到的
人。」
Exum declared for the NBA Draft this week and will be represented by Rob
Pelinka.
Exum在本週正式宣佈報名今年的選秀，而他的經紀人剛好跟湖人一哥Kobe一樣是Rob
Pelinka。
Longley has offered Exum advice on adapting to the NBA spotlight and handling
the intense scrutiny afforded to high draft picks.
與此同時，Longley也已經給予他的晚輩關於適應NBA的建議，特別是高順位球員容易受到
媒體緊密的審查。
''I was around him all summer with the Boomers and he showed more poise than
I expected, his decision-making is very good,'' he said.
老龍被問到此問題時又表示：「我去年暑假在國家隊的訓練時，就一直陪著他，他的
心理平衡度不但比我原先想得還要好，而且他在球賽時做決定的時機真的棒透了。」
