Tatum is very impressive - it's not just his shooting - it's his toughness - he's going to the hole at will and is completely unphased if Embiid and another defender is in front of him and trying (and succeeding at times) to throw it down with authority. I thought the rap against him at Duke was he had no outside shot. I'm surprised - he's so poised - and he's been draining 3s too. I wanted no part of him in the draft. He isn't what the Sixers needed - they needed a Combo Guard - Fultz was their man and they traded up to secure him. Want to see how Fultz looks coming in next October - but it is worrisome. Did you see that blank stare in his eyes (may have been Game #1 or Game #2)? The camera panned to him sitting on the bench as Tatum was lighting it up - and he had this blank expression on his face and didn't blink for what felt like an eternity. There's just something 'off' - hope the kid gets his head on straight. Well 20/20 hindsight and all that. Hope Fultz becomes a solid player but I'm afraid Philly fans will always wonder what the future could've been, had they taken Tatum instead. And as you mentioned in an earlier post, it is an odd start time for tonight's game. Not sure what the logic is there but I doubt there will be many empty seats. Fans find a way, they always do. That's another element to Sixers/Celtics that is going to make it interesting to watch. The mini-drama of Fulz/Tatum
