Feel like hes starting to come into his own.
DUKE IN THE NBA
- Thread starter Quavarius
- Start date
Jmo but think he is two years away from being where he needs to be Think he will probably be 15 to 20 pounds heavier and strong enough to finish thru contacts Will be perennial all star then
I agree, you can tell though hes turning the corner. Scary thing is hes 5-6 years away from entering his true prime.
Yes, last year he hovered around the perimeter and this year he's driving more and has gotten used to the physicality of the NBA game.
When Uncle Drew has the ball in his hands it is must see TV. This year though, he will be playing off the ball a lot more and he is pretty special in that role as well. His passing is ridiculous. It is fun to see Kyrie as more than a scorer. He has layers to his game that he can use in Boston under Stevens' system. In Cleveland he was pigeon holes IMO. It was LBJ's show. With good reason.

Q and I have discussed this before. Just to have 2 Duke guys on the Celtics is a huge plus. (not too many have come through since I have been a fan) Having those two be two of my favorite Blue devils makes it even better. Tatum is seriously impressive though. Not just how smooth he has transitioned to role player for Boston, but how he carries himself off the court. The guy is a pros pro at 19 years old. He has won over Boston fans.
I still do nit like the whole idea that Simmons is a rookie. I guess it is a little better than 3rd year rookie Embiid though. Tatum won't see enough touches to put up the numbers of Simmons, but i am willing to bet that he will grow so much more as a player being in Boston and playing for a contending team.
Oh yes and Tatum won't rack up the individual awards, but in the NBA, rings and money are the only two things that matter and being at Boston, he will check both boxes.
Justise Winslow scored 14 points, six rebounds and five assists in a 126-115 win over Phoenix.

As a duke fan that game was a lot of fun to watch. Wish Tatum a speedy recovery.
No serious damage after all the tests. Questionable for tomorrow. That is Celtic speak for he ain’t playing tomorrow. Good news on the tests though.
Jayson Tatum scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 95-94 win over Toronto. Boston has now won 12 in a row after starting 0-2.
Luke Kennard scored a career high 14 points and grabbed five rebounds in a 112-103 win over Miami.
Wasn’t Tatums best game. However he did a little of everything. Didn’t have any assists but got guys good looks that didn’t get knocked down. In fact that is pretty common for the team. Lots of bricks...
Yeah their FG % is low, but they make up for it on the defensive end.
