Jayson Tatum Full Highlights vs Spurs Summer League - 23 Pts, 10 Reb

[86MaxwellSmart]

Man, Tatum looks like he's been playing NBA ball for 5 years---and he's only 19

Doesn't turn 20 until Next March----Holy Crap~~!!

2 summer league games should not have a huge effect on how you view Tatum.

Paul Pierce 2.0....NOT

More like a young Kobe with his athletic ability. He's a mature basketball player who may end up getting more minutes than Brown. Ainge struck gold with Tatum.

He is not really at all like Kobe athletically. Kobe was a dunk contest champ for a reason. Tatum has been killing it, but he doesn't remind me of young Kobe whatsoever.

Yeah, Tatum is a unique combination of offensive skills. Tatum is very long and tall and has all those moves and counter moves. He's very polished for a 19 year old. It will be very interesting to see him play against NBA defense when the games are real.

Hayward, Jaylen, and Tatum on the floor at the same time are going to cause our opponents some headaches in the near future.

I can see Coach Stevens using that lineup at times.

Tatum is special and will fit in nicely.

His post moves he said he learned from watching Kobe.

He's taller than Pierce. I see some Pippen, Kobe, Pierce, TMac all in his game. He's got the entire package and once he learns how to play the pro game, he's going to be hell in isolation and in the open court.

I mean, When the team with the #1 pick trades down for you, considered the best offensive player  in your draft class, playing as fluid as he did, I feels  it safe  to be slightly impressed

Am i the only one who sees a young Durant with a different looking shot?

[kraidstar]

It's going to be interesting watching Jackson and Ball this weekend in Vegas.

This could really be a great draft class judging by what we've seen so far from Tatum and Fultz.

Tatum is reminding me a lot of Scottie Pippen.

TP

he's got the frame to put on 20lbs of muscle at least too. Remember how skinny Hayward was when he came into the league?

Lot's to be excited about.

We all know Tatum is a legit scorer, but can someone explain how he has looked on defense?

I wasn't able to watch the last few games unfortunately.

He looked a lot better than I thought he would for his size (weight).  Kid is strong but really slender.  Seemed to have good awareness on D, used his length to grab some tough def rebounds.  His length will help on close outs, he seems like a pretty high iq player that will get better on D quickly.
