Up against the best he simply commanded both ends. How good will this 21 year old become Is he our Larry Bird ?


It feels good

How high do you think ?

He's exceptional. LeBron will have him in LA within 2 years.

He couldn't even get a triple double against the Clips and didn't have to worry about PG3 for half the game.....

He's exceeding my expectations. I always thought he would be a little limited based on a lack of elite athleticism.

But Tatum has such a great shot that it opens up the rest of his game. If he can finish at the rim with more consistency he may be able to become a bonafide superstar.

He has also busted his tail on defense this season... that's been as great to see as his offensive emergence.

He's got a great body and works a lot, best thing for the Celtics is that he is there with similar age Brown and it causes an internal "competition" on who between the two will "shine" more... It just accelerates things.

If we could have him in the Bucks, he would be the perfect addition for a (short) future roster where he would play the SF in the starting roster with Giannis at PF, Middleton at SG and Divincenzo at PG... Add Valanciounas at Center and you end up with a starting roster that IMO, exceeds in quality the 18-19 Warriors and would last for another decade dominating everything.

Will you sell him to us?

Surely Fultz would have done better... :D :nod: The Celtics should have draft him instead of letting you pick the diamond up!

If Jayson Tatum can get to Tony Snell's level, the Celtics will have another dynasty.

You think so? I think it's only Tony's shot accuracy that his game could benefit from, he is better on anything else...

Interesting opinion you have though... Even more interesting that you are not at shame to share it, although it may make some people think that you are an idiot for having it...

Just thought up a comparison...

... Tatum is like a young Carmelo Anthony... except Tatum's trying to play smarter and he actually hustles on defense.

Sounds a much better comparison to me than ...Snell, who is what trojanfan12 suggested as a comparison!

He is a good one but he is no Larry Bird.

What would the Bucks offer the Celtics for Tatum?

Don't know... What you suggest with your bright mind?

Best I would think at the moment would be a 3-team deal Bucks-Lakers-Celtics... Bledsoe to the Lakers, Tatum and Kostas Antetokounmpo to the Bucks, Kuzma and Green + a 2nd the Bucks have from the Pacers to the Celtics seems quite fair...

So the Celtics give up Tatum and some scrub for Kuzma, Green, and a 2nd? Celtics might have to add Hayward to make that work.
