57%
Lonzo shot 67%
Markelle shot 66%
Tatum shot 84% --> why I think he'll eventually be a knock down shooter from deep.

How many points a game does Isaiah get going to line,
I also agree with coach K he was out for a month with a ankle injury-K said we have not seen the best of Tatum

Yup.

Ankle injury
Coach K missing a bunch of games.
Grayson allen debacle.
4 scorers no real floor generals on the team.

Once they settled in tatum was one of the best players in the country. Absolutely dominant in the ACC tournament.

I've been sold on Tatum for a while.  IMO he's the #2 prospect in this draft behind Fultz.  He has an advanced offensive game, his FT% gives optimism that he will become a dangerous shooter in time, and he's a much better defender than his reputation (he was a plus defender at Duke; while he lacks Jackson's pure athleticism, he's a good positional defender and he's actually longer than Jackson). 

You can question his decision-making and lack of elite athleticism.  Those are fair criticisms.  Otherwise, I think he checks a ton of boxes in terms of what you look for in a top-of-draft prospect.

most of the games are. 

close games almost always come down to who can make their FTs and who can't.  in fact, if you check the box scores, in most of the games you'll see that losing team lost by a total that's less than or equal to the number of FTs they missed.
