Poll - Is Jayson Tatum closer to KD or Andrew Wiggins?

[nickagneta]

Paul George. Tatum is closest to Paul George than either Wiggins or Durant.

His second scoring explosion this season. Granted they’re against the Hornets and the Pels but I like Scal’s POV on this from before. Something along the lines of..., “let’s not get too excited. Once he does this vs Milwaukee or something, then we’re talking. But before you get to that, you do need to prove that you can have big scoring nights, even if it is against the Charlottes of this world.”

[GreenCoffeeBean]

Right now, Wiggins because he's a bit selfish and erratic. But long term, if he can't figure out the feel and flow of basketball, his ceiling is Shane Battier with a dosage of Melo's offense.

I don't see either Durant or Wiggins in Tatum's game. He looks to me like a bigger, slightly more athletic Paul Pierce.

Still has great upside.  Hoping that he puts the team before his personal goals of being a 30 point scorer. Hard to tell from some of his post game comments sometimes.

Paul George, like I said after Tatum’s 39 point Hornets game.

[chambers]

He's much better than Wiggins.
But no where near Durant.

Atm he crushes poor defenses but seems to struggle vs better defenses.

He hits tough shots and misses a lot of bunnies so that's better for his long term outlook.

We're looking at Paul George as a best  case.

First, you do not want him to be either of these guys because if he is Durant he leaves Cs to go chase rings after futility in Boston. If he is Wiggins he does not separate himself from the pack.

Second, he is an neither of these guys because he is an ALPHA and they are NOT.

Isn't he just 21? How long did it take Durant to break out?

In his third year in the league, his age 21 year, Durant led the league in scoring with 30.1 PPG while breaking the 60% TS% threshold for the first time in his career.

I’d say Tatum is almost exactly in between those two guys.  I don’t think he’s near a mvp talent.  But it think he’s a good deal better than Wiggins, if only because he has the mentality that Wiggins doesn’t.

Yeah, let’s shut that comparison down.  Tatum clearly has warts.  I think those warts will keep him from becoming a top 10 player.

How are any of us supposed to know whom Tatum is closer friends with?

To be fair KD has warts as well, but Tatum has massive issues.

Paul George. Tatum is closest to Paul George than either Wiggins or Durant.

maybe in talent but not style of play.  He is much closer to Durant in that.

What? Durant doesn't have ball pounding issues like Tatum and he's a foul drawing machine.
