I hope Ingram does this to LeBron next season. |
All we can do is talk “potential” right now. Lol.
That dunk and bump reminded me of Bynum on Shaq. |

All this talk of their young guys making the playoffs etc...I'd like to see them do what they did to this point playing out west, not happening. Those guys are a bunch of scrubs, sorry if some don't see it. Tatum is good, I'll give them that but that team is horrible. I get they are missing two all stars, but that and Tatum is all they have...that team would not beat the warriors or Rockets. |

Sucks that Tatum is a Celtic but he is going to be a good one. |

They suck because they wouldn't beat the two best teams in the NBA without 2/3 of there best players? haha.. Obviously with them I don't think they would this year anyways but as much as I dislike the Celtics they mos def. do not suck. I hope everything goes wrong for them but the reality is they are looking real good going into the future. |

Love Tatum. But like Lonzo in a couple years will be a game changer at his position. And Kuzma is Tatum. Only a couple years older. We are good. |

You think Lonzo Ball is better now, or will better in the future, than Tatum? Teams gameplan for Tatum, he had the most 20 point games as a rookie since Kareem.
On the hand, teams sag off Lonzo and dare him to shoot.
Skill sets, talent and work ethic not even close. |

Right and dude had a year to learn from Kobe. Rookes and Vets are champing at the bit to have Kobe show them the way. |

That's no bump since LeBron didn't move an inch

Kuzma and Tatum were great draft pics this season for their respective teams. Very similar in size and athleticism, of course Kuzma may have a bit more experience being in college for 4 years, but Tatum is pretty special and didn't seem to get rattled against LBJ.
The comparison is a good one to make, but put this Lakers team in the East with our current roster and balance of veterans and we're right in the same spot. A healthy Kyrie puts the Celtics in the Finals with or without KLove.
Honestly depending upon the personnel and who's on our team next year, rather or not Kuzma gets an opportunity to continue to develop, will determine who's better in the future. IMO as of now Tatum and Brown may have the nod, because of their conference and because the Celtics team is done building. Sure they'll make a play for a FA, but most likely Tatum and Brown are their future, if anything Brown maybe more likely to leave, but not before a Marcus Smart/Greg Monroe. The Celtics have a bright future with those guys, who knows maybe our Lakers and Celtics rivalry can be re-ignited! |

The mere fact that we're putting Tatum (#3) and Kuzma (#27) in the same discussion after only one year, shows how much of a steal Kuzma was and how much of a talent/worker he is. That is how much you can take from that debate so far. _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

Tatum
Ingram
Kuzma
Brown
In that order.
I think Ingram has a higher ceiling than Tatum but I think Tatum floor is much higher and he is much closer to meeting his peak than Ingram is. |
