Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Not really but I think you maximize his offensive talent as a 4.


I think the smallball craze could backfire on some teams, Tatum at PF in the future might work but they need a physically imposing C out there with him because Horford + Him or Hayward is a weak ass frontcourt. I think mutli-talented PFs with actual PF size (245-260lbs) are right around the corner and teams running with small forwards at the 4 could get abused.

Long term Tatum is projected as a 4 tho

Short term you got a decent argument


I thought you all were running Hayward at the SG? so are you starting Smart across from Kyrie and letting Rozier get full backup PG time?

Hayward's the 3. Brown will start at the 2. Rozier and Smart share Irving's backup minutes though Smart can play at the 1 and 2.

Yeah I can see the argument and I'd definitely be trying to unload some of that combo-forward glut the Cs have to upgrade their interior defense.

They are going to have to pick between Brown and Tatum at some point IMO. I don't think either have the lateral ability or shooting you want at the 3.

Tatum isn't a 4 the man weighs 205 pounds. Brown should be the 4 if Morris is out he has more mass to bang as a 4. Tatum is a 2/3 right now, maybe 10 years in his career when he's fully matured and got his weight up he'll play some 4.

Teams are starting to drag it with the small ball 4's :wtb:
