You should be embarrassed to make this comparison. Tatum is a sure fire superstar in the making and if you don't recognize that then I seriously question your ability to judge players

Obviously trolling. Why even bother?

Can he continue to score 20 a night? I think he can. He's clearly our 2nd best offensive option behind Kyrie. Hayward is clearly going to take time to get back to pre injury form and Tatum is just a better option than Brown or Horford.

The other thing I will be monitoring is his rebounding. Really hoping he can improve his defensive rebound %. It will make our small ball lineups work much better. Again 9 boards last night is a good start. You would hope that as he gets stronger he will rebound better.

Last night was scary for the league. Not gonna lie, I loved him working w/ Kobe over the summer. Dude looked like a grown ass man last night. Like you said, not scared to shoot or being soft like last year. Damn I was hyped watching him. I think i'm underrating him personally. IK it's 1 game, but it's not even the stats that stand out. His whole aura was different.

This is gonna be a helluva season.

He’s untouchable. I don’t care if it’s AD or KD, any package involving Tatum with a bunch of high draft picks and young talent is a no imo. He’s.only.20!

Yep. Tatum is off the table. He will be flirting with being a top 10 player sooner than later. Any Davis deal if that were to surface down the line would be a Jaylen Brown, Kings pick centric move....but honestly, who cares right now. This team has a chance to be special. Let's enjoy the ride.

I'm a huge fan, but calling him a future MVP candidate/top 5 player has raised expectations much too high, especially since he won't get the shot attempts required to get those kinds of numbers. I understand that when most people said those things, they were talking about Tatum in about 5-6 years from now. Unfortunately, we live in a microwave society where instant gratification is king. If Tatum puts up 15-17 ppg this season, I will be more than happy about that. Unfortunately, we will have to deal with everyone outside of Boston calling him a disappointment.

I know it's only 1 game into his second year, but it looks like I'm going to eat a lot of **** for my take, and I'm very happy to do so. Seems like maybe I underrated the kid. Pass me the plate of crow and some hot sauce please.

No need to get hostile my friend. I compared him to two more established players who happen to both be very good players on different sides of the ball. Rough night tonight for him, but no reason to think he cant shake it off and continue to develop

I think Tobias Harris is a pretty good scorer. However, who is this Robert Covington that you speak of? Please excuse my ignorance, but I mainly watch Celtics games, and I don't believe I've ever seen Covington yet. Is he any good? What's he known for? What team does he play on?

Is he the guy with the dead animal on top of his head?

I'm wondering where, what and when, Tatum finds himself this year.
He seems to have more pressure heaped on him, and seems more unsure of himself.

I suspect this has also something to do with being a father at the 20yo, not an easy task, maybe he is a little more tired than he should be...

My understanding was that he wasn't actually living with the kiddo. Both the mom and his mom supposedly had more direct roles in day-to-day care (and separate digs from him).

tatum's rookie season he had eleven +20pt games with a season high vs philly ECN 28pts. eventually he's gonna blow-up and put on a shooting clinic, make a statement that he's destined for greatness. durant 2.0

He’s not a sure fire superstar. Slow down. He shows flashes of a player who can become an all star and possibly a player you can build a franchise around. There’s a ton of potential there. But definitely not a sure fire superstar. Only so many superstars in the league to begin with and he’s been anything but consistent. He really broke out during that playoff run. Let’s hope he continues to improve each game, week, month, year.

Jaylen might be closer to a Covington than Tatum. Covington can’t really do much aside from play D and spot up 3’s. Jaylen can attack the basket... sometimes.

He's too much in his head atm and is playing very passive. He's passing up shots he wouldn't have thought twice about taking in the first couple games this season. Imo he started taking way too many of those deep 2's and ended up missing a load of them which possibly knocked his confidence. Tatum's got a great midrange game, but he's been taking too many of those pointless Avery Bradley long 2's this season. Tatum should be shooting about 16 times a game; focusing on 3's and getting to the basket, taking mismatches off the dribble or faking off the 3 into a midrange shot, but atm he looks completely shook out there which is sad to see considering his breakout playoffs and those great first 2 games he had for us this season

GuyClinch · Post #57 » by **GuyClinch** » Fri Nov 9, 2018 11:55 pm

Needs to take and make more 3s. He should be 17ppg in his second season with 42% 3 point shooting. His numbers are down from last year thus far - so its been a regression.

Thanks for the information, this leave a bittersweet taste in my mouth but looks like definitely is not what I suspected.
