So all of last year’s final reports come in and say that the Celtics Tatum was one of the real problems in the team. Not just Kyrie Irving. That Tatum wanted the ball and stopped passing. So is it the rookie Tatum that we will see this year. You know the guy that learned team ball from Coach K or will it be sophomore Tatum that has learned to hog the ball.
Just seeing what the Celtics got out of Tatum this past year should make one worry.
Now Gordon Hayward was an all star two years ago. Nice player. But last year could not really play a lot of minutes because of his ankle nor could he play any real defense because that ankle won’t let him make sharp cuts. What will the Celtics get this year the Hayward of an all star capability or the guy that is a relic of what he once presented on the court?
Odd place to post this but okay..
Certainly a possibility Tatum was a problem. The whole going put to clubs on back to back nights was probably him along with a few of the other guys.
Kyrie is also a 27 yr old man. Tatum just turned 21. Not saying the behavior is inexcusable, just that he has more time to be influenced positively. Plus he makes about 20 million less a year, haha. Worth the risk at that price.
Tatum also was not the LEADER of the team like Kyrie professed to be. Kyrie's example led to bad locker room and selfish plays from a few guys on the team.
Now, if I we see another year of selfish iso long 2s from Tatum? Ditch him. Because he looked like hot garbage post all star break.
Hayward will be better. Looks to be in better shape already
