I feel like complaining a little more about a 19 year old who may make the starting lineup on a contender.
Is it just me or does Tatum still hesitate a little too much? Seems during the pre-season there were several catch and shoot opportunities where he hesitated. This was something that Draftexpress talked about:

I'm willing to be proved wrong about this.
I hope he get the green light, and just starts letting it fly! (Until he gets mired around 30%)
Good luck everybody! Yagshemash.
Honestly, I'm much more concerned with his lack of vision. Take a look at his first offensive sequence in the video, below, from his preseason debut. He had a simple 2-on-1 fast break with Yabusele, but instead of giving it to Guerschon for a layup/dunk on the right side, he didn't even look in the direction of his teammate after drawing the defender's attention and ended up trying to go through the guy to score, which resulted in two free throws. Yikes. What a mess. At least he acquitted himself for it later when he gave it to Theis for a dunk on another 2-on-1, but still, for the most part, whenever he has the ball, everything, and everyone, just stops moving. Not good, imo.

Unrelated - I have absolutely no idea what "Yagshemash" means or even how to pronounce it.
So, 9 minutes into his first preseason game as a professional?
No, I'm not worried.
