mehWhat do y'all think about Jayson Tatum as an NBA prospect?

i think it seems barnes is worse than he is in part because when most people think of him you think of him bricking wide open 3s in the finals last year. he's been pretty good his year carrying more of a scoring load.
tatum might be a little bit smoother but not quite as explosive. they're both combo forwards with similar bodies and i think they'll both be good but not great shooters. i guess you can hold out hope tatum will be more versatile offensively, i don't think he'll be as good as barnes defensively who is a good 2-4 defender.

I think Monk has a lot of questions. I think his top end is really to be a Jamal Crawford/Lou Williams type of 6th/7th man. His size and limited defense could be problems as a starting SG.
Tatum keeps showing up on the Sixers in mock drafts, and I would need to talk myself into him. I still think they should draft a guard before him. Adding another 6'8" or 9" guy to the frontcourt that has Saric, Covington, Simmons, Holmes, and Embiid doesn't make much sense to me, even though ostensibly Simmons will run the point.
I like DSJ actuallyThere's ~14% chance they'll have 2 lotto picks and I guarantee you they'd take one if that were the case. At this point, I'm ok with just about anyone except Dennis Smith, unless their pick somehow falls to 8 or 9 and he's somehow left.
Maybe he'll play some D in the league, but it was staggering how bad he looked or how little he tried defensively the handful of times I saw him this year.
