Explain Tatum to me?
I really just don't get it. He is a mid post forward who doesn't get all the way to rim nor create for others nor is a defensive stallworth. He is a skinny Jabari or Melo with way less strength. Still should be a 20 ppg scorer in the league. If he is the best guy in the draft though then its overhyped imo. Give me Isaac over him all day.
As for PGs, Smith is a better leaper and more powerful than Fultz but Markelle's change of direction, pull-up, first step, size and feel are simply ridiculous. Frank isn't the same kind of athlete as those two but he has as 6'11 span so his defensive potential gives him the nod over Smith IMO.
I like Fox but he is a tier below IMO. Ball is the wildcard.....I need to see how he shoots the ball at the next level but would not be surprised to see him go number one overall.
Tatum has been filling out nicely and will continue to, the thing for me is he's already an elite player at his age and he still has a lot of growing to do he'll become a good defender as well and I like his IQ/demeanor a lot as well
It ultimately comes down to the eye test to me and feeling, and watching him play gives me a good feeling about him
Frank is interesting, I think he'll end up staying another year at least - he's a lot like Jamal Murray, not skilled enough yet to be a combo guard and too small to play the 2
Hopefully Markelle will show me more soon, I just hope he doesn't get over-hyped because he'll be the main focus at Washington
As far as Ball is concerned, he's got a lot to show me to make me a fan, really not feeling his game right now
