Who are you playing PF? Tatum? Yeah, that won't work out too well.
Tatum started G1 at PF so apparently the team thought it would. He probably would have stayed there if we didn't have a pretty urgent need for a starting SF.

Fully anticipate him to be the full-time PF next season with an extra year of age and a full pro strength and conditioning offseason program.

As I also mentioned, he also started there game 2, but we went away from that experiment right after. Maybe things would've remained that way if Hayward was still around, maybe not.

I mean, knowing Stevens, I'm quite positive that he'll attempt to fit all those guys in the starting unit. Not sure if it's in our best interest to do so. But we'll see.
I don't think this is a particular testament to Tatum at PF, since we played the Bucks that game and the Bucks had Giannis and Snell as their Fs. We'll see. I just expect Tatum to be bigger and stronger next year.

Snell is a shooting guard and played as such during the previous playoff series, iirc.
