Got some questions on Tatum

[rollie mass]

He has those wide shoulders but looks like he lacks lower body strength.Is it possible coming from high school, the adjusting to school, and early season team stuff and then the ankle .That set him back enough for the coach to comment"we had not seen the best" and had to battle adversity. He might have had to layoff weights and drills
 First season had Jaylen working out with Butler hard  and his shock at man strength during pre season

I know Tatum and  has a rep for desire  and but there is no replacing the commitment as a pro with the players and the training staff

So again can the focus with NBA trainers and drills improve agility,vertical and lateral?

of those names, I could see a comparison to MKG due to shooting issues.  the others, not so much.

[wdleehi]

Sort of a wide range of players.   Plus, the Celtics already have one of those on the list and are in position to sign another.

Leave it to Rollie to turn the draft into a cattle auction, oy vay.

Tatum is the safe pick. Jackson the sexy pick.

Bring sexy back.

[Donoghus]

That list is ridiculous.  How are Durant, MKG, Melo, & Jackson all comparable?

It makes no sense.

They're all black and play SF???

Tatum's build looks like he has room to fill out like Khawi Leonard. Jackson looks like he will always be slender.

Jackson is the ugly pick...

Unless you want a guy who will fall somewhere between Michael Kidd Gilchrist and Josh Smith - then Jackson is the man for you.

by having someone put all their names into a single list....i guess.

Kevin Durant remains slender, and does not seem to bother his game too much.

This body type stuff is hysterical.

If we were playing the 90's and 00's, then yes, Tatum would be the right guy.

But watching the fast pace action of the GSW, you have to match speed/quick decision making with them.  Jackson has that in spades. I don't see that with Tatum.
