    I would too. Just saying, they are WAY more impressive offensively at this stage than he was last year in Summer League. Hoping to see big improvements from him this year, specifically in the area of aggressiveness.

    I like Fultz, but I think Tatum is going to be one of the top 2 or 3 players this draft.

    He was drafted accordingly; he will be special. IMO.

    Donoven Mitchell looked great for Utah against the Spurs. Very controlled player who never looked like he was in a hurry and shot the ball great

    Tatum is only 6 months younger than Ingram.

    Yep. Mark this post: Fultz, Tatum, and Jackson will have better careers than Ball.

    Tatum is legit. He's an iso scorer who adds some rebounds. To be fair, who on that Philadelphia team is a real defender? Honestly I don't know their roster.

    I watched Tatum battle with Josh Jackson in the All-American game. I thought Josh won the war, but Tatum battled hard against him.

    brown looked great in the few minutes i watched. real improvement as a shooter and ballhandler (still a work in progress here, though). let's hope ingram can show that kind of shooting improvement in his games.

    i do think that brown, tatum, crowder, and hayward are all sfs and only sfs, though, so boston needs to do some things.

    Throw Ojeleye in there too, he's definitely a 3/4 not a 2/3.

    I think they can play with Hayward at the 2, but not Tatum, Crowder, or Brown... I thought Brown looked like an NBA player playing against competition that's beneath him. Reminded me of D'Angelo last year: flaws still there, but the talent level is clearly not competitive for what he can do. I thought Tatum looked good, not great. He hit the game winner, but he just isn't up to NBA speed yet. He was turned around a few times defensively. I think we'll see similar problems from Hart and Kuzma on Friday, maybe Ball too.

    When they said positionless basketball, the C Bags and Blazers thought it was signing small forwards after small forwards

    I do think Brown/Tatum will be good as well but given the makeup of that team, its going to be hard to get consistent minutes for both those guys and still win. I think playing time for both guys are going to take a back seat to winning, it might end up stunting both dudes, they're both 3's IMO as well as Hayward.

    C Bags have too many wings, I don't think they can properly develop all of them. Probably a reason why Josh Jackson maneuvered his way to Phoenix.
