Jackson vs Tatum - Who should the Celtics Draft?
Can't believe there's no poll on this yet.
24 hour poll...
Based on every report, assuming C's still have the 3rd pick they'll be drafting be either Jackson or Tatum.

I'd say Tatum just because Jackson seems like a little emotional bish

Tatum cause he was my guy all along before we got #1 so I want to be right.

Tatum...Jackson's character concerns me.

Re: Jackson vs Tatum - Who should the Celtics Draft?
Tatum, won't really get into why because I'm a huge Tatum fan and may be biased. But I really think he's going to be a special player, he has the frame to bulk up and I think the athleticism concerns are somewhat overstated. He's athletic enough, IMO at least.

If we pick Tatum, there's more of a chance we keep him. Picking Jackson could be for a later trade in July with Chicago or NY, who didn't want to pull the trigger pre-draft. Especially with Zarren's tweet today. I say we pick Jackson for that reason.

Re: Jackson vs Tatum - Who should the Celtics Draft?
I picked Jackson because i think he has a higher upside. But I'm shocked that Tatum people double Jackson people in this poll. Are people being swayed by his lack of work out thing or actually think Tatum will be the better player?

1. Trade the pick for Butler
2. Trade down again for 5/10 (even if you have to give something else up like Rozier), take Monk+Collins
3. Draft Isaac
4. Draft Jackson
5. Draft Tatum

Tatum. Better suited for playing the 4. Better shooter and scorer.

Re: Jackson vs Tatum - Who should the Celtics Draft?
I haven't seen enough of these guys to have an opinion but if they're even and team needs become the tiebreaker, then here are those needs:
1) A scorer who can create their own shot.
2) A long imposing big man with inside presence.
I take it Tatum fits the first need and neither fits the second. Are Jackson and Tatum even?

Re: Jackson vs Tatum - Who should the Celtics Draft?
Tatums defensive struggles can be made up for with his length. Brad wants to run a 3 pt shooting team. Get someone who can hit a shot. Not that broken Shawn Marion 2.0 looking thing. We have enough hustlers. Take a sure thing.
Celtics Fan. Trust Danny Ainge.

Thanks for posting. It doesn't change my opinion much (Isaac > Tatum > Jackson) but it does make me feel better about the (likely) prospect of drafting Tatum.

Anyone but Jackson. Take Fox Issac Monk over Jackson. He's a ham and egger that smacks around women and has no shot and can't hit free throws.
