Siakam or Tatum

[Frangala]

That’s probably the dumbest statement I’ve ever heard. 4 years is 4 years no matter how you wanna slice it. It doesn’t matter when Siakam picked up a Basketball. So you telling Siakams prime is delayed 4 years because he picked up a basketball at a later age?


And what’s makes you think OG will be better than Tatum? Tatum is a year Younger and is already better at EVERYTHING. OG is a starter playing 30 minutes per game, averaging 10 points per game, 5 Boards and under 2 assists, way under Tatum’s production with about the same playing time. Its not like he’s some back of the bench project.

No it isn't athletics and being good/skillful at a sport means you need more time dedicated to it why do you think Embiid Siakam are all offspring of NBA Africa initiatives that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute championed providing infrastructure to third world kids in countries with less infrastructure and where basketball is not number one yet (soccer is).

Contrast that to their American counterparts where there is a robust infrastructure with AAU from as soon as kids show some type of promise to summer basketball, shoe camps to traveling teams to the regular school year HS basketball. You are lying to yourself if you doubt that all this infrastructure/means available at an early age and attention being paid to young players do not have a benefit down the road.

You didn't understand for the 100th time, Siakam IS better than Tatum. Tatum IS better than OG but OG WILL be better (future tense) and won't be surprising since Raptors are the top player development franchise in the league. Raptors are a better team than Boston will go further than the always underachieving Boston team this year.

Dudes were just ready to crown Tatum as the next big thing so bad that it hasn't happened yet. Giannis and Siakam have surpassed him stats and playoff performance have supported that statement.

numbers pretty similar by now, I expect Tatum to have better Numbers by seasons End. At this point Tatum is Defensively Better than Siakam.

Tatum Younger than OG, Tatum at a more advanced Stage right now approaching Superstar Level. OG a role player older than Tatum. I think OG been posting on this thread.

Looking forward to the playoffs. 2nd Round can be fire.

 

[Marc Spector]

Id say Tatum.

Tatum is a more skilled player and is honestly taking that leap this year into being "the guy".

Pascal is a far more utilitarian player. Extremely versatile but he's not excelling at a aspect of BBall at the level Tatum is ATM.

No it won't. The Celtics will smoke that can't create a shot ass team.

[Raquinotj]

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

I wouldn’t trade Tatum for MaCACnen and 2 First Rounders. Tatum is a Certified Star.

 

[Raquinotj]

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

Tatum had the Better season and is the Better player NOW as well. 4 years younger.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Tatum is better, more well rounded, better shooter and is getting better every year

Will be a #1 guy next year

Pascal is good but not a superstar

Until tatum proves hes a No 1 its just an opinion,you prefer him thats all...This playoff will show us.

NEITHER is a superstar,tatum isnt well rounded he floats in and out of games too much to consider him anything close to a superstar...hes proven nothing as of yet.The idea he is ascending to #1 next year or these playoffs is wishful thinking and media driven BS.Hes not clearly established himself as the No 1 on his own damn team.

Im still going Pascal...
