Pre injury version.
Only 20 years old. Still skinny, but already amazing. Loves the 4th quarter. Cant wait to see how much better he will be with added 15 pounds of mass
The one thing CBS didnt do correct tonight is ride the hot hand, continously feed Tatum the ball and let him go ISO with 7 min left

I think Jaylen is a closer comp for Paul Geroge. High end defensive player best as a second option on offense who scores 21-24. Tatum can be a better offensive player than George.

Jaylen is not reliable in the 4th quarter. And plays a different game. Is not a natural shooter
Also is like 6'6 vs George/Tatum who are closer to 6'9.

I disagree. Even pre-injury PG never averaged over 22ppg, and post injury has maxed out at 23.7. I reckon Tatum will be a better scorer than that, as his in-between game and 3 point shot are at a crazy level for a rookie.

PG isn't the most reliable guy either. He choked pretty hard this playoffs. JB is a much better comparison for PG

Nah-Tatum will be a KD/Pierce hybrid while Jaylen will be a Butler/Kawhi hybrid.

Nah-Tatum will be a KD/Pierce hybrid while Jaylen will be a Butler/Kawhi hybrid.
Jaylen to Butler comparison is decent
Dont see Tatum to KD comparisons. KD is 7'0 with a 7'6 wingspan freak that is nearly unstoppable when dialed in
-
It's definitively Brown! If we need to choose someone to be traded from duo Tatum/Brown, it has to be Brown. Tatum is too precious...
-
People already forgot how clutch George was with Indy and gave Lebron all he could handle in the playoffs.

After tonight , I couldnt agree more

their production together is too valuable to trade. Brown has a nice shot he just Had a bad gamw

Hence I said KD/Pierce hybrid. Also Tatum might grow a bit, and rn he's 6'9 or so with a really long wingspan. Obviously he'll likely never be KD type of long but it's not impossible to say that he'll be something like 6'10 with a 7'4 wingspan. That's still hella long lol.

And they play similarly. Assassins from range, good handles, efficient from everywhere. Tatum tries to create more separation than KD, who simply just rises up defended or not

Yeah because KD's extra inches is just that OP. And that's why I linked Tatum to Pierce as well, he creates separation a bit like Pierce.

Yeah, it really is unfair when you can casually shoot over Trevor Ariza like he's not even there.
Tatum is Pierce-like in the way he uses his body

Brown doesn't have the handles PG has.

Yeah. Hope he and Jaylen develop tbh and make a leap next year, if Jaylen's work ethic keeps up I can see him eventually working his way into a Kobe/Nique hybrid.
-
I have been on it for a while.
Floor - Melo
Ceiling - KD
-
I hope he's a lot better than Paul George—that guy's just a glorified complementary player.
-
Tatum has the potential to be much better than PG on offense IMO
-
I agree with most that JB is a better comparison to PG, or Jimmy Butler, offensively Tatum’s talent is on another level. Brown needs to make big stride on his offence, otherwise he’s more likely turn into Igadala
-
Brown have alot of work to do in the off season. I expect him to only get better, especially after that painful defeat.

Not that I think it really would make much of a difference in terms of off-season inspiration , but to lose a close series in the ECF rather than get demoralized in a 4-game drubbing in the Finals (which was probable), may produce a slightly better mindset over the next 4 months.

I'm fine with we losing, but not fine with this epic choke job, Brown should be ashamed about himself for tonight's performance , there is no BUTs.

- Kobe had couple of choke jobs against the Jazz in both 98 and 99 season
- Kawhi choked on a championship clinching free throw
- Lebron himself have some epic chokejobs
Jaylen will grow stronger. He's a competitor.

He also came up huge in game 6 which was also a possible close-out job.
As for the George-Tatum comparison, I don't know. Isn't George known as the guy who can't perform with the game on the line? Literally the first game we ever saw Tatum in a Cs uniform (summer league), he hit a game winning shot at the buzzer. George is an All-NBA type player, though, and that is a great place for Tatum to start.
-
Similar in body type, but Tatum has a better offensive profile as a number one option than George.
-
He's useless if you want to win a championship.
-
He's better than PG offensively, heading into KD area IMO. He needs to increase his strength by 20-30% in the off season and he will be a beast!
I think the Brown - Butler comparison is a fair one, technically he is ahead of where Butler was at this point in their careers.
