Siakam or Tatum

[Osmosis]

Siakam is pretty clearly the better player now but I think Tatum will be better in the future.

OK so you havent watched him play is what you mean...

Breh, I've watched about 30 Raptors games this season, and he can barely create his own shot. You clearly are a Siakam stan and a victim of confirmation bias. I don't think Im subject to the same homerism as you because I could barely give a fukk about a jayson tatum or a Siakam.

About half of his 2 point shots are assisted, and about 100% of his 3 point shots are assisted. That puts him below Tatum, and way below all the other good shot creators in the NBA. Compare that to Lowry who is putting up basicly the same amount of points, but only has 27% of his 2's assisted and 70% of his 3's assisted. Kyle Lowry is definitely not an elite shot creator, and he puts Siakam to shame. What do you expect from someone who's not an elite shooter or has elite handles?

NOT a Siakam homer and he barely creates his own shot is a lie....His 3.5 corner threes is 10% of his offense...

Im trying to figure out why people have Tatum so far ahead of Lauri right now too

that playoffs has mfs gassing the shyt out the nikka. nikkas gon be dissapointed in the long run tho

 

[Guile]

When the C's get bounced in the first round of the playoffs people gonna have to really start re-evaluating Tatum.

 

[Gravity]

Siakam. Capable of of around the same production but is much much more low maintenance.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Siakam is good but let’s see how he progress after this year. Tatum has superstar talent

Name that superstar talent cuz it’s one thing to have superstar potential, but if he already has superstar talent then he should Be a superstar already,..

 

[Sinnerman]

I don't think Tatum is anywhere near as good as people think he is, and I don't see that gamechanger potential

I'll take Siakam

 

[lightskin jermaine]

Siakam is nice and if/when Kawhi leaves in the offseason the Raptors still have a player to build around.

 

[Ashyneezz]

Siakam surprised the mess out of me when they played the Mavs. I hadn't watched him and thought he was just a defender, slasher, and offensive reb put back kinda guy. He had me like

 

[Lakerman0834]

Boston bias is real brehs. Put Siakam or Ingram on Boston and theyd be labeled as potential super stars

Siakam will be 25 in 4 Weeks, Tatum cant even walk into a liquor store and Purchase alcohol yet. Tatum body's Still Developing, he's still a kid. Holla at me when Siakam leads his team to the eastern Conference Finals as the main guy, Tatum was THAT guy his first season in the Playoffs.

Tatum didn’t lead them. He played well and had great moments but Rozier, Brown, Horford, Morris all stepped up. It was a collective team effort.

Horford was the best player.

 

[ISO]

The fact that their numbers are this close yet Tatum is considered underachieving and Siakam the MIP should tell you everything you need to know about how they’re valued in the league. fukk a airport, Masai would drive Siakam from Toronto to Boston if Tatum was on the table

No, he wouldn’t.

Siakam has next and is pretty much untouchable. If you looking at numbers you doing it wrong, Siakam has more impact on both ends. He does it all can take bigs off the dribble, post up, hit corner threes, runs the floor like a horse beast in transition, can pass, can defend.

Siakam is better right now, he is 4 years older than Tatum. Tatum might be better in the future but Masai wouldn’t pull that trade given Siakam’s own upside and improvement.
