I'm starting to get Rudy Gay vibes from Tatum, where we keep waiting for him to become a superstar and it never happens
Siakam or Tatum

That Boston hype has done great things for Tatum 
Siakam is the correct answer
Siakam is the correct answer

Superstar
I said superstar talent, I don’t know how he will use it but do you think Siak could be the best player on a championship team?

Last night his team was struggling,the game was dying for him to interject himself into it and he just stood in the background sulking...Thing i like about Siakam he aint waiting to be passed the ball anymore, he'll grab the rebound and drive the ball down the floor and call his own number...
I dont thnk either of them are #1 players on contenders....as of right now.But right now Tatum is not a legit #2 and Siakam is on a contender thats gonna win 60 games...I think its a fair observation to say hes passed him right now...

Me either, I just think Tatum has more talent and upside
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.
Siakam didnt start playign basketball until 16...He went from a 12th man to Robin in 1 season...Ordinarily i would agree with the age thing but because of the crazy step hes taken in one season im waiving it for this argument...

Saikam has been impressive af and has taken the leap people thought OG Anunoby would take. Hes also turning 25 this year.
Tatum carried his team in the ECF as a rookie and is putting up near similiar numbers(not as good on defense) and is turning 21 this year.

It’s all in the Game Yo
You have a clear bias , no shade just you should have titled the thread “ Siakim>>Tatum” or something of that nature
Tatum has superstar talent
I swear...
Muthafukkers in the media like that clown Chris Mannix keep sayin Tatum gonna average 30 ppg in the league
He’s a Celtic Schill just like most dudes at the ringer. Everything is slanted towards the Celtics
4 Basketball Years is a BIG difference, Tell you this much, If you offer Siakam in trade for Tatum Danny will laugh in your face and Masai Ujiri will personally drop Siakam at the airport.
THIS season their numbers are CLOSE, you acting like Siakam is averaging 25 Points per game.
Tatum 31.1 min per Game 16.3 PPG, 6.3 RB, 2 Ast, Siakam 31.6 Min Per Game 16.3 PPG, 7 RB, 3ast
He will average 20/10 next year...and Masai aint trading Siakam for anybody hes already said it...
Did you watch the game last night cuz one guy was the best player on the floor and the other guy looked afraid to get involved...
Siakam has become the better player. He does so many things better than Tatum, playmaking, defending, rebounding, finishing. He’s a Swiss Army knife. But Tatum can be a franchise guy one day. Siakam is gonna top out as an ultimate ancillary piece. Id want both if I was building a contender in 5yrs
