You don't want Paul Pierce but you want the truth?

Floor - Otto Porter Jr.

Ceiling - Grant Hill (but modern range, Grant didn't shoot threes much).

Also keep in mind this is freshman Grant Hill.

[dang] that's harsh.

Didnt Jabari average over 20 PPG last year despite being on the sane team as Giannis, Middleton and Monroe?  And he's only like 21?

Floor: A poor man's Rudy Gay.

It might take a little time.  And if we sign Hayward, I'm finding it difficult to picture Tatum getting the minutes to fully develop.  But his offensive arsenal is special.  He can score from all 3 levels.

My only question is can he do it against NBA level athletes.  It's kind of easy to dominate college competition.  And when you have so many talented teammates at Duke... well you get more opportunities to shine.

But hopefully he fits in and turns into a star for us.  I have a feeling he will split time between 3 and small ball 4 since he played so much 4 for Duke.

Really good size and length at 6'8 with 6-11 wingspan.  Also he probably instantly becomes the best ISO player on the Celtics.  He's got game in the post as well.

Check out this video showcasing his offense.

Question. How does his game compare to Paul George? Although I'm an avid NBA fan, for some reason I'm not very familiar with George's game.
