He has a couple inches on Hill. He might be close to 6'9". Needs to add 20lbs.

He's only 205 pounds but looking at his frame you can tell he is the type of guy that can add some legit lean muscle. I think he will get more explosive and quicker as well...hopefully a lot.

He was 205 pounds over a year ago. He's definitely heavier than that now.

Wish he at least measured at the combine

But 6'9 looks about right. Also 7 wingspan.

Reach at 8'11  ;D

Maybe there is very small window he can grow another inch

No way we're trading this guy. He's just getting started. He has it all.

Who else likes Tatum potential/game over Jabari Parker and Brandon Ingram?

Yes

Just looking at comparisons of guys with similar game/style  to Tatum ... Like Tobias Harris, Parker... Tatum has a sweet reach adv (8'7-8'8 vs 8'11). Carmelo Anthony 8'9.5 reach

PG13 does have a 8'11 reach

It would be nice to bring in PG13 even as a 1 year rental.  Tatum would learn alot from him

I agree.  My guess is that Tatum is at least 6'9".  Awesome size for a combo forward.

 I'll take Tatum's future over both of those guys right now no doubt.

Definitely over Parker. Those injuries are devestating and Parker is truly awful at defense. I haven't watched enough Ingram to comment knowledgeably, but I like Tatum out of college more than I liked Ingram.

He was 205 pounds over a year ago. He's definitely heavier than that now.
In an interview he said that before college he gained 20 pounds and that the doctors said that is the reason he injured his foot. The reporter asked what his current weight is and he said around 205. I'll try to find the link.

I think he is being very careful about gaining weight bc of the injury and maybe it's been hard for him to put the right weight on. I agree that with his frame and build he should be heavier in a year but that's not what happened this past year. He is very tone and lean and his frame def looks like it will get ripped and can hold a great athletic build.

Inputting Tatum into the Boston Celtic's professional strength and conditioning program along with no classes and all the time for the gym should help him make yuuuge gains....especially since he stopped growing and is just 19.
