I think Androslav is 100% right.

Tatum is a scorer. That's where his skills and instincts lie.

Last year he was used primarily as a scorer.  This year he's been expected to play a more complimentary role and has disappeared at times.

Ball handling, physical development, maturity and a dash of reality would do wonders for Mr. Tatum.

No. Training with Kobe did. Hence, all the low-IQ long 2s and iso-ing this season from Tatum  :(

TPs to Androslav, kmart, Dons and a couple others that pointed out that this year Tatum's regression is more about Tatum not working on his game enough, needing to work on his body more and the rest of the league catching up to him.

Oh, and bad habits. That habit he has that he fakes out people closing out on his three point shot by taking two steps forward and shooting a 21' two point shot is just awful. Drives me nuts. Take side steps and take a three young man.

This is quite the stretch of psycho-analysis.
you are much too kind.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
