Dante Exum has to adjust to more time playing off the ball, but he is just happy to be playing consistently again after missing all of last season rehabilitating from a torn left anterior cruciate ligament. Nike Free 5.0 Flyknit Mens .Its a great feeling, Exum told ESPN after Utah Jazzs come-from-behind win against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.[Being on the bench] is no place for a player-to-be. Im just happy to be out there, taking it one game at a time and continuing to get better.[Im] definitely back into the rhythm of playing. Its just getting that consistency - not having played for a while to going to back-to-backs and five games in seven nights. Its just about adjusting to that.Its not just consistency that Exum is adjusting to, though. The Australian, who was drafted by the Jazz essentially straight out of high school, had played as a point guard for the majority of his rookie season in 2014-15, but through the first six games of the current season he has played the role of an off-the-ball guard more than that of the traditional point guard -- with most of those latter minutes being assigned to George Hill and Shelvin Mack.Im always used to playing the one [and] its always an adjustment changing, Exum said.Ive adjusted well and Ive just got to continue to concentrate on what to do. Hopefully just get better from there.Exum is averaging 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game through the early stages of the season, but theres always room for improvement. As the season progresses, he feels like eventually hell be moved back to his most natural playing position.[Jazz coach Quinn Snyder] hasnt talked to me about that [but] Im a versatile guy; being able to play both positions, I think we get a bit more stable in our rotations, he said. I think Ill get back into the one more.Snyder says nothing is guaranteed minutes-wise for any of the Jazz players.Roles are going to expand and contract based on how guys play, Snyder said pregame.Its really that simple.Exum, still only 21, had been pegged as the Jazzs point guard of the future, but the team acquired veteran Hill in the off-season -- a move that could have, understandably, given Exum the impression that a starting spot was still a way off.Exum, however, views the move as a positive for his development.I think its always good that [the Jazz] have patience in me, he said.Its always hard coming back from an injury and expected to perform straight away. Its good that I can find my feet first and hopefully I get to that point [of starting].Im watching [Hill] every game and seeing what he does. During practice hes helping me with certain decisions, and doing everything to help me.The Jazz are scheduled to play the 76ers in Philadelphia on Monday -- a contest Exum would have been looking forward to even more had his good friend Ben Simmons been able to play.Exum has been in regular contact with Simmons, saying he has urged him not to rush anything in his rehab as he looks to come back from a Jones fracture.The biggest thing was about for him doing [rehab] so when he gets back on the court, hes ready to go, Exum said.I told him the biggest thing is not to rush it as well. I know he wants to get out there and play, but he needs to continue to stay in rehab because you dont want it to be an injury that keeps hanging around. Nike Free Run 2 Mens .

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marcus Mariota is feeling more comfortable with every game that passes with the Tennessee Titans.Considering how hes performed through just 22 career games, thats news the rest of the AFC South and NFL likely dont want to hear.Hes just getting better and better as we go, Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews said Wednesday of Mariota. I think thats showing. I think hes going to continue to get better. I dont think weve even seen the best of him yet, so thats kind of scary actually.Mariota was chosen AFC Offensive Player of the Week Wednesday after throwing for 295 yards and four touchdowns in a 47-25 win over the Green Bay Packers -- his third such award.The quarterback credited tight end Delanie Walker and running back DeMarco Murray along with his offensive line with helping him put up such numbers.Im really just kind of a result of that, Mariota said.With his latest performance, Mariota became the first quarterback in NFL history to score four total touchdowns in six of his first 22 career starts. Its just part of the numbers the No. 2 pick overall out of Oregon in 2015 has been compiling.Mariota ranks fifth all-time for most TD passes (33) before turning 23 on Oct. 30, behind Drew Bledsoe and Fran Tarkenton (40), Jameis Winston (39) and Josh Freeman (35). Mariota already has two of the franchises top three games in terms of passer rating, a stat that doesnt include his perfect 158.3 rating in his NFL debut because he didnt throw at least 20 passes.He also has matched Warren Moons 1987 franchise record with at least two TD passes in six straight games, a mark Mariota will have a chance to take for himself Sundday when the Titans (5-5) visit Indianapolis (4-5). Nike Free Run 5.0 Mens. nside an opponents 20, Mariota is second only to Brady (130.8) in passer rating at 116.4, having thrown 15 touchdowns. Only Drew Brees of New Orleans (19) has more.Yes, Mariota is getting more and more comfortable each week.Youre seeing things for a lot of times a second or third time, Mariota said. As I continue to grow, I think things will continue to slow down.Against Green Bay, Mariota completed his first 10 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with a 149.8 passer rating.Titans coach Mike Mularkey notes how Tennessee needs the quarterback playing at his best level. Mularkey explained how Mariota threw the ball away when needed and didnt try to do too much.Weve improved in a lot of areas that have helped him get to that point, Mularkey said.Mariota now has 17 touchdowns and three interceptions over his past six games, along with two TDs rushing. That gives him a 119 passer rating second in the NFL to Tom Brady (125.5) in that span. Colts coach Chuck Pagano saw Mariota Oct. 23 when Indianapolis pulled out a 34-26 win and called the quarterback a great game manager.He can beat you with his arm. He can beat you with his legs. Hes making great decisions ... Pagano said. And hes being efficient, hes taking care of the football, and theyre spreading things around. Hes playing with a great deal of confidence right now, as well as everybody around him.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap Jerseys From ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaNFL Cheap JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
