    I had heard the Lakers were interested in him and wanted to work him out. I don't know if they ever did. The Lakers did conduct some workouts privately (according to Serena Winters).

    I'd put Kuzma on Tatum and see what the guy can do. He has pretty nimble feet for a 6'10" guy.

    Screw it throw Bryant at him too for the hell of it. I thought his feet were fast for a 245lb guy his size. And at least if Kuz is getting overpowered maybe we see how he does instead?

    Caveat is I have never seen Tatum play. :p :rofl:

    Jaylen brown looked good last year and struggled to get minutes.

    All you take away from summer league and the first few pre season games are positives. Some negatives could be correctable by the first regular season NBA game where things are actually organized.

    I've seen some highlights and I don't get what's so great about Tatum. Seems to be a good ISO scorer, but seems a bit slow. His ceiling looks like Rashard Lewis.

    I like Tatum a lot. He's a good scorer and he isn't horrible on the glass. He needs a lot of work defensively and yes his athleticism is in the good-not-great area. I think he'll be a good player though. I like his combination of mentality and ability.

    Shoot Kuzma seems to have a bigger ceiling after a game like today.

    I was thinking Kuzma actually resembled Rashard Lewis.

    Depends. You like smaller Tats but more of them or fewer larger Tats?

    Just barely noticed Kwahi only has one sleeve. I'm in it for the long run and still planning on looking good when I'm 60 :) keeping the door open for a thigh or foot tattoo.

    You can always wear long sleeve shirts when you're 60.

    Oh I didn't take what you said as anti-tattoo (and even if it was I still wouldn't have cared), I was saying if you want some and are worried about looking bad at 60, you can wear a long sleeve shirt is all. Probably should have thrown in one of these. ;)

    Oh no you were more than cool!... I always just make sure i cover my bases so i dont offend anyone and if i do say something that i question a lil i apologize in advance cause im all about good vibes and clarity haha. I dont wanna disrespect someone even if i view things different than them. Im planning on being on one of those older dudes thats jacked and looks good for his age ;) so no arm tats for me lol.

    But everyone should do as they feel! Life's short, though its not a sprint..its a marathon race. So many contradictions i know haha.

    Yes honestly, I have really enjoyed watching Tatum. He makes incredibly tough shots look easy. Very interesting to watch and you can see how Kobe has influenced his game.

    Too bad he is a C bag now but I predict that he will have a great career and looks like a genuinely nice guy.

    What does that say about Jackson if you feel Tatum's overrated?

    Meanwhile Kuzma's been like, "hold my beer"
