Love the added strength but he needs to keep that stroke of his.

lol…he finally listened and went the LeBron/Giannis route I have been shouting for the last 2-3 years. He will now be beast…he will finish through contact. He will get his And ones and the Cs will finally have their superstar.

I know a lot of players post off-season workout pictures while doing weights. These are usually a PR stunt and optic illusion, but Tatum hasn’t been someone that was ever interested in these stunts…so perhaps this could be a Giannis like physical jump?

He recently posted that pic, as well.  He doesn’t look giant in it, so who knows?

I doubt we’ll see a Giannis like jump, because those tend to be genetic as much as due to hard work.

He does look broader though. Over the last month of the season he was drawing fouls like nobody’s business - expect more of it

That’s the next big step we need from him.  If he can get to the line 8 or so times per game he’ll be unstoppable.

Tough to believe, but God help the NBA if it's true.

Indeed. From April onward he was averaging 7 FTAs, and in the playoffs he averaged 10 FTAs. It was as if something clicked. Hopefully it continues - I have faith that it will. Pressuring teams with foul trouble and getting easy points will make life easier for him.

He also posted on his IG story one of his friends puking all over the ground after working out with him. Meanwhile Tatum was laughing.  If he takes a physical jump this year, we're talking about top 5 potential with how skilled he is.

Durant never had this sort of physical profile, maybe Tatum can find himself somewhere in between Durant's skillset and LeBron's physical profile.  That would be something.
