this oughta spark some good debate.
Of course Tatum has a larger upside as he's turning 21, while Siakam will be 25 in April.
But RIGHT NOW is Siakam the better player?
Siakams numbers: 16.1 PPG , 7.0 RPG , 2.8 APG , 55%FG , 34%3PT
Tatums numbers: 16.5 PPG , 6.3 RPG , 1.9 APG , 45%FG , 38%3PT
I think it's pretty close, but giving the edge to Tatum based on his playoff success.
For those of you who don't know Siakm has only been playing organized basketball for 7 years, including 3 in the NBA! It's amazing that we're even comparing him to a high caliber stud from Duke whose been balling most his life.
