Al says Tatum is the one guy who clearly has improved most over the summer. So look out!


If that's really accurate ... yeah, he could immediately rise to all-star levels or better.

Al's interview is right here.

He said Kyrie, Tatum and Brown looked to take the biggest offseason leaps to him. If true......could be looking at a VERY special season if those 3 all become a lot better, wow!!!

I am pretty sure that is a later, more-PC response that Al gave. The one I saw had him answering Tatum first and only.

Thanks. Good survey. Doesn't support your policy of endless swipes at Jaylen, but interesting for its own sake.


Want another correlation? Women with high testosterone tend to be good with logic, math, etc.--whereas men with low testosterone tend to do better than high testosterone guys. (E.g., men in physics are famous for low T.) That helps to explain why the "dumb jocks" stereotype tends to hold for men, whereas female athletes also tend to be academic achievers.


I know a lot of mathematically adept women -- a former head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an Ivy League math professor, etc. -- or at least knew them back when they were grad students. None was particularly adept athletically. Some of the guys were, however.

The sharpest female techies I know don't seem to be jock(ette)s either, although in those cases my ability to judge is less reliable.


Once again, that is not what I was saying.

But the high and low testosterone data is pretty well established.

Someone needs to tell him to chill with the long twos with a hand in his face. He should be using his handle to get to the bucket instead of creating some space for a tough midranger IMO. Rebounding has been impressive so far. Once the threes start falling he should be a reliable go-to option this season with an outside shot at an all star appearance this year.
