I don't think Tatum and Brown have to be superstars for Boston to become the next badass team on the block. I'm not sure they will become superstars and I didn't him. They both will become all-star caliber players. I don't think the Celtics should trade either player. Because, I feel like they will be the two best players on the Celtics. Even, more so than Kyrie, who is kind of overrated. Tatum/Brown can shoot, hot tough shots, rebound, pass,athletic, and can play defense - and are team players. Both players are not even 23 yet. Kyrie can hit big shots and have big games, while being a great playmaker. But, he's horrible on defense, injury prone, and the latest revelations about his eventual departure from Cleveland for the simple fact he's not the main guy (which he won't be for any team with championship aspirations). It's a land mine for the Celtics, if they keep him over Tatum and Brown. They should trade Kyrie to a team, like the Hawks, Kings, or Grizzlies for a #1 pick ... that gives them leverage for the future with a team that is already a powerhouse without Kyrie. Also, gives Kyrie a chance to prove how good he is and how he can lead cellar dweller to NBA prominence, like LeBron.
No way. Tatum is already better and once his body matures the gap will get bigger. But Justise could be a valuable role player on a good team. Superstar? Nah.
I agree, I thought this was also going to be about Duval. If he gets a jump shot he will be dangerous. His blow by speed is amazing.
"Next" ... time will tell. The operative word is develop...so he is obviously not there yet. But, it's not to say he can't.
Yes. He has separated himself from Hezonja at the moment. Although I still expect Hezonja to break out at some point and be great. And then it might become debatable again. I still like Hezonja a lot. Would have loved to replace Ariza with Hezonja. I still believe Hezonja has superstar potential.
Simmons is already a star, but that jumper is broked in every wish way imaginable. He will lead the sixers into the 3 point era and thrive with no jumper whatsoever.
We’re is Josh Jackson on that list? The guy put up huge numbers the last 40+ games of the season. He’s an elite athlete with good handles and passing skills. Plus he’s got the tools to be elite on defense. He’s shown more than Ingram imo the only guys on your list that I are better than him are booker, Simmons and mitchel. And the only guy I like more than him besides those 3 is Luca doncic. Jackson could end up better than booker imo. The kid is the best wing player out of Kansas since Paul Pierce. Forgot about Tatum he’s good also but I still think Jackson has more potential because of his athletic gifts. Don’t sleep on JJ he’s a stud.
Unless JJ is the second coming of Jimmy Butler, don't expect those t-rex arms to lock down anyone. He also shoots 65% from the FT line, so RIP to any potential 3 point threat. It doesn't help that Tatum is younger than Jackson by nearly a year.
Say what you want but the reality is the kid was putting up almost 20/6 a night for over 30 games to end the season. Hi shooting improved a lot from Kansas to the nba, still needs to get a lot better but if he can get a consistent jumper he’ll be a fantastic player. He’s a better passer than Tatum and a much better athlete his upside is higher. I like Tatum I’m just not as high on him as most, maybe I’m missing something. I don’t see future superstar when I watch him play. To me all those ppl that say they wouldn’t trade him for kawi are crazy imo. It’s not like kawi is old lol.
