Tatum is not getting picked past 4th. There are mock drafts that have him going #1 in the 17 draft.

What gives him the edge over those kids? Especially Ingram who has a pretty similar makeup and has thus far proven to be a better shooter.

He's a superior ball handler, his jumper is much better especially off the bounce, far superior free throw shooter, his mid range game is second to no one in high school or college.

I could buy Tatum as high as 6 after Jackson, Giles, Ingram, Simmons and Bender, not higher than that, no way.

He is the oldest, the worst length for his position with the most glaring hole (his pull-up) IMO

Harry Giles with his recently torn acl and his injury history I would not take in the top 5 of this draft.

Josh Jackson I have never been a fan of, when ever I have seen him play he did not perform well and seemed to really be affected by his poor play on the court.

Tatum I would need to see more of but he could potentially crack the top 5.

I see it mentioned a fair bit that Ben and particularly Skal are old for there class. Josh Jackson, who is a good talent, will be a month older then Labissiere at the same stage when Skal started college.

Even Ingram is 6 months younger then him and Simmons is only 6.75 months older

Probably this, though until we see them in college it's just a guessing game. Last year people would have said Skal would have gone top 5 if there were no age limit.
