Celtics 2018 theme: Rise of Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum

[Gman]

The C's are the envy of just about every other team in the league when it comes to youthful talent.

You disagree, @DirtDirtDirt?

I think what you said is possible, but outside of Kyrie, its a bunch of unproven young talent, and I think there are teams in the East that can say the same, like Philly, Milwaukee, Charolotte maybe

I still think the Celtics have a decent shot at the #2 seed, the conference is really bad........But Hayward IMO gave them legit Finals aspirations that are now gone.......I dont believe for a second he makes it back this season, and even if he did, Im not sure what kind of player they are gonna get back......

Not sure Gman. We are almost too young...Philly ish but we do have two bonafide stars, one hurt, one still talking to a realtor

To you point dirt I see him only making it back as a 6th man this year. And maybe thats fine I dont know. I cannot see him getting starter minutes even when he gets back

Fair enough.

Damn if Brown and Tatum didn't look good last night... but I can't argue with you that these guys still have to prove a lot more.

Yeah, I dont claim to know much about the recovery, but Id have to think its a long grueling one

Too bad, I was always a huge fan of that guy since the day he came oh so close to making Duke Fans cry forever

i don't think you can even count kyrie in that comment.

I'll take Milwaukee (even with an overrated Parker) or Minny (Townes) or NO (Brow). You can start around any of those guys.

brown is going to be a star in this league, i keep telling you

and tatum is going to be fultz's superior

Tatum had a rough 1st half and a couple of embarrassing welcome-to-the-nba moments.

Which made the 2nd half he had all the more impressive. He looks legit.

With Hayward out, I think Jaylen Brown becomes a serious contender for Most Improved Player this season.

And TAtum becomes a legit ROY contender. I thought his competition for minutes and touches was too much before the injury.

Brown looked awesome last night.

If Hayward can eventually come all the way back from this, it could be a long term blessing for the C's. Brown and Tatum get asked to do more and will hopefully develop quicker as a result. They were not winning a ring this year anyway, so the silver lining of additional reps for Brown and Tatum could be really positive.

I am more inclined to agree every time I see those 2 play.

LOL.....Well now that you say it

ive said it about brown since they drafted him. project offensively but his athleticism is through the roof. just needed some room to grow. he got minutes last year, but danny/stevens made him defer. now hes taking the shots.

tatum...i didnt like it, i was a fultz guy...until i saw them both play.

tatum is a double double machine waiting to happen.

Think theres a good solid 4 Vinnys' in that shot

[The Q]

Looking at the team, I like tatum as a modern 4. I think it also limits his limitations moving laterally.

Using that injury exception to get a guy like Ennis from memphis would be interesting to me.

Look who's singing a different tune after opening night!

 

[The Q]

I always said I preferred Tatum as a 4.

I don't think he moves well enough laterally to be a 3 (he's got ups, but not horizontal explosiveness).

to me getting an Ennis works here.

The fun idea would be Aaron Gordon, his defensive versatility would work here and he is technically in the last year of his deal.
