Scouts from America's top teams are jostling to put his name up in lights and a fortune in his pocket.
A childhood dream of playing in the National Basketball Association is in sight for Exum, 18, whose skills were honed in the backyard of his family's Seabrook home.
Touted as a potential top five NBA draft pick, the 1.98m Exum is guaranteed a first-year salary of at least $3 million - with the promise of far more to come.
"I've always dreamt about going to the NBA," he said. "I won't stop until I get there."
Exum has a family pedigree - his US-born dad Cecil played alongside Michael Jordan at college, and for several teams in Australia's National Basketball League.
Dante joined the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra at 15, and trained for 20 hours a week hoping he would be good enough to be picked up by a college team.
A dominant performance playing guard for Australia at the under-19 world championships this year erased any doubt - and soon campuses from Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky and North Carolina came calling.
US website NBADraft.net last month called him "lightning quick ... one of the top prospects not just in Australia, but in the world".
Another NBA draft preview called him "flat-out spectacular ... appears to play with a jet pack or rocket strapped to his back".
Dante is not fazed by the hype or the potential riches.
"If I'm ready, I'm ready - and the money also appeals. I always dreamt about being rich as a kid. But my family will always help me make the right decisions throughout the whole process," he said.
The path from Aussie basketball prodigy to NBA stardom has been traversed before, with fellow Melburnian Andrew Bogut, the No. 1 draft pick in 2005, signing a $75 million contract extension three years later.
But Exum has been offered a fast-track to the NBA instead of the usual path of doing a couple of years on a college scholarship first, as Bogut did.
Softly spoken Exum now faces the biggest decision of his young life - nominate for next year's NBA draft and become an instant millionaire, or take a free scholarship at a US university and continue his development.
"It's a lot of pressure but it's better to be talking about having that option than not having it," he said.
"I used to be like 90 per cent to 10 that I was going to college, but recently they are saying that my stock has risen even more, that I could possibly go top five. Now it's more of a 50-50 decision."
Exum's rise continued during the week when he was named in the Australian senior squad, the Boomers.
"I've always wanted to play for Australia and even though I've got the American background with both my parents, it's always been Australia," he said.
"This is where I've grown up and this is where I've played basketball, so I've always wanted to play for the Boomers."
Aussie basketball legend Andrew Gaze said Exum has what it takes.
"It's not beyond the realm of possibility that he goes straight into the rotation of an NBA team," he said.
