Jayson Tatum Is The Most Skilled Offensive Rookie SF I Ever Seen

[DetroitEWarren]

This dude would average 25ppg right now if he got drafted to a bad team. Dude is WAYYYYYYY more skilled offensively than rookie Melo and Durant.

I already knew his triple threat game was GOAT levels, BUT DUDE MIGHT BE EVEN BETTER OFF THE DRIBBLE . He has a great and quick ass crossover, is much more athletic than advertised and has a first step on a elite level. Finishes great at the basket, great from mid range, and the best 3pt shooter in the league so far. Dude will win scoring titles for sure in the future. I see dude having multiple 25-30ppg seasons, you can't stop dudes that offensively gifted.


Josh Jackson has some elite skills also, but their roles are very different, I think Josh would be balling with the C's also, he'd for sure give u 14ppg, BUT DEFINITELY NOT ON 51% FROM THE FIELD

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Not just skilled, but his understanding of the game is far beyond his years. Muh'fukka is only 19 years old and looks like he's been in the league for a decade.

Lol skinny melo was way better LeBron should of made the all Star team rookie year to.

he's been good but as far as most skilled idk if I could say that. I dont think he was more skilled than Carmelo honestly...Bird was def better too

WhoWho's talking about LeBron here

I see a great career for Tatum. Why the pistons can't find good in the draft

Melo couldn't finish at the basket AT ALL as a rookie, was great from mid range though, but still inefficient. Tatum is much more skilled bro, it ain't even close really. He is better than rookie Melo from every single spot on the floor, MUCH faster and quicker off the dribble, better 1st step, better handle, better from triple threat position.

Name me one thing rookie Melo did better than Tatum????


Rookie Durant was inefficient also, dude exploded his 2nd season though, nikka went from "possibly overrated" as a rookie to the best scorer in the league his 2nd season.

Luke Kennard over Donovan Mitchell .


It's the main reason why I don't fukk with the Pistons AT ALL. They have never been entertaining to watch and they have been the worse drafting team over the last 20 years imo.

My mama was hanging with Magic Johnson and Greg Kelser at Michigan State in 79, it was her fresman year, I wasn't even thought of yet . I was born in 86 my nikka, point being, "that I've ever seen".

i was saying this before it was cool (mainly to point out that ingram ain't on his level) but yeah

it sucks that hayward went down, but tatum is really showing out. i'm also glad that he's not being pulled into that "he's a 4" bullshyt either yet. his iso game in college was waaaaaaaaaaaaay out the reach of most top tier freshmen. once he learns movement and how to make easy buckets for himself along with how to exploit team defenses as a whole, he's gonna be a fukkin problem

its a long season though, and rookies often have up and down seasons.... his issues are going to be a bit more pronounced when defenses begin to pick up on his shortcomings (being pushed off his spots, second move, lateral movement) but brad stevens is definitely the guy to build him up and cover those issues at the same time.

 

[Draje]

Breh has extremely high IQ and understanding of positioning. Dude knows how to use his body and makes the right reads for the ball consistently. As good as he is offensively, I'm been very impressed with his defense and rebounding instincts too.

He's gonna be a monster after one or two off-seasons and that NBA weight gain program.

I’ll take melo over tatum. Tatum benefits from playing with such a talented core of players. He’s not focal point of Biston like Melo was in Denver. Surround rookie melo with kyrie, brown, rozier, smart, Horford and his career is completely different. Melo had complete inside and out offensive game and used be legit on the glass.

 

[Rigby.]

Lakers missed on their facilitator for the future twice

But a system of DLo, Tatum, Bingram, Kuzma, Nance can move the ball well enough as a unit

^This...Even his debut game in the NBA had me like..."This nikka been here before."
