Congrats to Anthony Edwards making it out of the first round this year! By the end of Tatum's 3rd season he'd participated in 5 playoff series wins.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Honestly. Edwards. I think he has more of the "it" than Tatum. We shall see.

They’re both better than any Magic player in history not named Shaquille O’Neal.

Tatum's hot/cold scoring nights can get so frustrating, yet he's been a solid 20-10-5 guy lately. But Ant is beasting these playoffs so far. 32ppg, multiple 40pt games. I'll take Tatum due to team fandom, but the gap is close.

Arty thinks Jameer Nelson is the GOAT point guard and if he wasn't injured the Magic win the 09 chip easily.Alex_Murphy wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 4:29 pmWhere do you get off thinking you know anything about basketball?elartman1973 wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 4:28 pmNopeRobceltsfan wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 3:28 pm

Re: Who would you rather build a team around-Jayson Tatum or Anthony Edwards?
I don’t understand why Tatum doesn’t get to the rim. Shot only 22% of his shots 3ft and in while playing with 5 out spacing. His rim attempts have actually gone down despite getting bigger and stronger and having more space to operate. Until he starts attacking the hoop more, he’ll remain a tier below the real superstars

Well, if you want to build a Championship team then the answer is neither, since neither Edwards or Tatum have sniffed a Championship.
Since I haven't seem either guy play I'll go with Edwards, as word around NBA circles is he's built in the mode of a Jordan.
So enough said, basically.
Tatum? Eh, solid player but he allowed his team to get embarrassed and humiliated against a MUCH lower seed last year, so he's got a LOT to prove still.

Lack of BB IQ... he would rather chuck 40% of his shots from long-range and MISS 63% of the time (which he's done 'on average' the last 5 seasons) as opposed to get to the basket and score 71% of the time.wailuaFC wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 4:31 pm I don’t understand why Tatum doesn’t get to the rim.

Tatum last 5 years = 8 long-range bombs per game at 37% = 8.88 PPG
Had he taken those shots at the rim (where it's MUCH MUCH easier to Score in today's era) he would average 11.36 PPG (8 shots at the basket at a 71% clip, his average the past 5 seasons).
In fairness to Tatum though, it would seem the NBA today is loaded with players who lack basic math and common sense skills (ie; BB IQ).

I genuinely have zero desire to read anything you post now days. I could make a TDK madlibs that would be about 95% accuracy to your actual posts.

Tatum is nice but Edwards plays in the Wild West hence having to face more quality teams on a regular.

You are the one who asked why Tatum doesn't get to the basket more... and what I wrote is fact, you fool. Look it up yourself, or if you're too lazy lemme know and I'll do the homework for you.wailuaFC wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2024 5:21 pmI genuinely have zero desire to read anything you post now days.

Fact is you are a moron if you "settle" for long-range bombs at a 37% clip if/when you can get to the basket and score at a 71% clip... and those are Tatum's averages the past 5 years, I didn't just make-up numbers like those "fake stats" you, bush and grizz love to death.
So if it's not a lack of BB IQ then what is it?
He's either lazy, or he just doesn't care about winning, or he lacks the IQ to realize he's hurting his team taking so many 3's when he's soooooo much more efficient at the rim.
Take your pick.
