Yeah it's pretty pathetic we couldn't find a serviceable SL PG. Jackson was absolutely awful in game 1 and whoever was out there tonight was equally bad.

Brown's handles and shooting is at least 2 years away from being where it needs to be.

Tatum looks like he's the better player out of the 7/11 duo.

Jaylen still sloppy and dribbles too low for being so upright. Loses the ball like nothing. Zizic looks wack. Tatum looks Smooth.

I didn't catch the game but judging by the stat line nothing was flowing and this was bad team play.

Jaylen was in defer-to-Tatum mode tonight.

We'll see more of that in the coming years.

Jaylen is on the Butler development timeline and may exceed that.

Tatum is on the Melo timeline..and will be (Please Use More Appropriate Word) a bit by him needing to show growth in his whole game.

Neither is wrong and will be a great product once finished,

Holy cow you can't say ret*rded without it being blocked? Wow.

His fts has also been atrocious yikes..

Yep FT shooting is a concern. .685% from there last season. He's a ways away from being a reliable scorer forget about starter.

And so he should otherwise it will result in a lot of turnovers.

he doesn't have to be a reliable scorer to be a starter if he can defend three positions.

Did Jaylen do anything?

Fultz is out there sleepwalking through half the game on offense & the entire game on defense. He's lost on literally every defensive possession.

He had one of the worst games I've ever seen him have. He looked outclassed by undrafted free agents. 0 improvement in his shot, handles, or awareness. It couldn't have been a more concerning performance for his future as an NBA rotational player outside of him going Ron Artest in the stand.

YO that pass Tatum throws with his left hand at 2:35

I was the board's biggest Josh Jackson booster but I'm all about this kid right now. He's lanky (in a good way) and smooth and skilled for days.
