Definitely Wiggins. http://bkref.com/tiny/j8g61

Similar on offence, but Tatum is better defensively. Wiggins is having a really solid year though.

It’s Wiggins not Wiggings in the poll and title

Durant.  Tatum has the it factor.  His trajectory more closes matches Durant.  His offensive and defensive repertoire more closely matches Durant.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Wiggins has never had a game like Tatum is having tonight on either side of the floor. He has never been this efficient offensively or disruptive defensively.

He's KD tonight.

He's not KD, but there aren't many players outside the top 10 in the league I'd trade him for.

This is the reason why Tatum is a superstar in the making.

Every time there is adversity, he always bounces back, big time!

You can see it in Tatum's face.

He doesn't look fazed, whether the Celts are down or up.

Superstar mentality, that's what a guy like Jaylen Brown doesn't have.

Both Tatum and Brown are very good, but Tatum has that superstar mentality that Brown doesn't have.

Lol, what? Tatum has definitely let himself get fazed at times where Brown hasn’t, and vice versa. Not sure why it’s a competition - we have both of them!

Yes, we have both of them and they will be Celtic players for a very long time.

But it will always be a competition because there are some Celtic fans who think Tatum is better and there are Celtic fans who think Brown is better.

It's a friendly competition.

Still 21 years old and already scored 41 points in an NBA regular season game.

How many NBA players out there scored 41 when they were 21 years old?

I remember Mitchell dropped 40 as a rookie, joining LeBron, Durant, Curry, Melo, Blake Griffin & Eric Gordon as current players who have done so as rookies. Doncic, Young, KAT, Davis, Kyrie are all guys who have done so similarly young.

So, besides outliers like Eric Gordon, and older guys like Mitchell, Tatum is in pretty elite company.

Similar on offence, but Tatum is better defensively. Wiggins is having a really solid year though.

Interesting stat line comparison - though Wiggins is three years older. Hopefully Tatum’s going to be a good deal better a few years from now.

Wiggins did have a good third year, but then crashed in the next two. Only really back on track now.

Defence and rebounding are huge wins for Tatum
