Prior to the NBA Draft, the mystery of who exactly Dante Exum is and what kind of player he was remained very much an unknown. The Utah Jazz took the gamble of drafting Exum with the fifth overall pick, banking on his speed, size, and rumoured ball-handling abilities. 

Footage of the Australian was rare, making projecting and scouting him a near impossibility. 

Now, Exum is part of the Jazz's Summer League roster and he made his debut on Saturday, finally giving the world a look at what he can do on the court. 

Exum had 10 points, three assists, three rebounds, and a steal. He was as advertised - a phenomenal athlete with incredible speed and athleticism, capable of making passes into tight spaces. 

Yes, it was just a summer league game, but what's most important as that we have footage that proves Exum exists.
