saw it said during the broadcast last night that Tatum set a record for points in three games for a Celtic
Weren’t you saying you gotta pay to find out, Ph?
He gets Kobe comps. Even if he couldn't be the best player on a title team, he could be the #2 player on a title team and that's a max contract. He's 22. The Celtics are paying to find out.
Spurs 2014. Kawhi wasn’t top 5 when he won.
I think the odds of Tatum being a top 5 player within the next 5 years are pretty decent. You have pay to find out.
Yeah. You gotta pay a 22 year old with numbers comparable to the greats at the same age to find out if he's going to be at that level for your franchise when he's 26.
Top 5 players in the next 5 years is a mess. There's about 10-15 guys who could legitimately be at that level and that doesn't include sleepers and guys who are still in high school.
Giannis
AD
Jokic
Embiid
Kawhi
Luka
Zion
Tatum
Booker
Randle
Mitchell
Simmons
LaVine
These guys come to mind immediately and I'm probably forgetting some people. And that assumes guys like KD, Harden, and Steph don't age like Lebron.

Giannis, AD, Kawhi, Embiid, Zion & Mitchell all rate highly on the #tooathletic scale. At most 3 of em make it 5 years. Mitchell, Kawhi & Embiid all have the same issue, toes pointing inwards.
