I’m recalibrating my thinking about what Tatum is capable of after the last few weeks and especially last night. To do that at 21 against Kawhi - and a pretty good team on both sides of the ball. That’s next-level. Obviously he has to keep going, but if this is a sign of things to come Tatum has the highest ceiling. Elite scorer - excellent shooting, elite length, body control, timing, handles. The whole package. And still *very* early in his development.
Right now, today, if I had to win one game? It’s a tough choice. Tell me who else is on the team. Four years from now? Unless Simmons shows a lot more mental toughness than he has to date, my money is on Tatum as #1 of these 3.
