Rookies & Red Claws = Theis, Ojeleye, Yabusele, Nader; (Allen, Bird)

With Gordie temporarily decommissioned and Ojeleye barely breaking rotation, I've decided Tatum is now my favorite Celtic. He's as cool as butter and smooth as a cucumber! Active and productive af too!

Looks like a farewell video.

What's the Congo part of that about? (I presume it's where his family is from or something.)

What's with the T-shirt "Basketball saved my life"?

His father went from Congo to France when he was in his 20s so I think Congo has a big part in his formation. As for the shirt I don’t know if it’s just a tribute to B-ball or he is something truly attached to his story as a human, but I won’t be surprised life is hard there for 1st generation French who’s parents came from Africa.

Tatum is really good. Wow. He might just be the best player we've drafted since I've been a fan (after Pierce was drafted).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guerschon_Yabusele says he was born in France.

Hence my question about the Congo, which was then answered earlier in this thread.

In some ways Tatum actually reminds me of Hayward offensively anyways. He’s got size on him, but he runs the break very well, great off pick and roll, and I think he’ll develop into a solid 3 point shooter as he’s very smooth midrange already

I'd put Lonzo Ball slightly ahead of Yabusele. The rest I agree with.

Yabu needs more time ! he's so active (thats why he does rookie mistakes) and he learns fast i believe ! I hope along the season, he'll grab more min

Yabu is this year's Jordan Mickey, all hype, no substance
