And you know this how? You have some weird agenda against the Celtics.


Because Fultz, Ball, Fox, Jackson and a couple other players have played better and showed more potential than Tatum.



did you really just say ball is better than tatum. Have you seen how bad ball is shooting? Basically a ricky rubio.
Tatum has shown a ton of potential behind fultz and fox.



BTW i hate the celtics.

Remember when Riley and the Heat started measuring hockey assists? I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that Lonzo becomes one of the best in the league at the secondary assist stat. He makes passes that set up other passes. It's really a joy to watch. Kid's IQ is off the charts.

Not a direct comparison obviously, just saying both could be non dominant scorers who impact games in much different ways. I could see Ball being a huge impact guy in his prime while being totally unspectacular as a scorer. Where he could have like 8 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists and be a massive positive on the floor.


What he said.


This.

Also Tatum has beautiful technique. As he gets older he'll be able to convert on his moves more efficiently, but it's damn impressive what he already has in his arsenal

Kidd was an elite defender for most of his career, Ball won't be that. Offensively though.

Personally, I find Lonzo hugely entertaining to watch. Just how he dissects a defense and sees the floor. It's incredible how he runs an offense and the little things really stand out.

Yeah he's limited in some aspects but the kid can play. Does he have the ceiling of Fultz, Fox, Jackson, Tatum? Probably not but man, if the Lakers can get some talent. And Lonzo runs the offense? Must see TV.

Tatum is making his presence known. There's one thing to shoot a lot and it's another to make your presence felt in the game and he's doing that now.

One thing you can say, Tatum has been impressive the entire summer league. From Utah to Vegas.

Really like Lonzo's game. With so many stars that need the ball, you really need to find guys who are unselfish. Ball's best attribute is that his game meshes well with other stars. He'll need to work on his scoring, but I can see him looking really good once he gets talent around him.
