So Jackson is the better defender, good passer, not as good of a shooter, while Tatum is the best offensive talent in the draft, correct?
If so, I'm with you and will take my chances with the pure scorer.

As ESPN interviews Adam Silver about the procedure of the announcement process, all I can think about is how insane it would be if there was a mixup along the lines of the Oscars this year...
If they take Jackson instead of Tatum for the basis of using him as bait a week from now, I'll be pretty disappointed. Enough with the asset collecting, get Tatum or trade out.
People complaining about not taking Giannis a few years ago and all of a sudden theres a seven footer who moves like a guard and can shoot a little bit and no one wants him? Isaaaaaac!!
From a fit perspective I hope its Tatum. But of the highly regarded kid's I saw play this past year, I think I enjoyed watching Fox the most. He was explosive.
Agree completely. Hope they see something in him. (Especially if they can trade back for it.)
I hope they can trade # 3 plus other assets for Butler and somehow get the # 7 pick from MN and draft Isaac.
My outside the box predictions for tonight:
* Ainge acquires #7 and throws everyone off by selecting Frank Ntilikina
* Indiana selects my binkie at 15, Anzejs Pasecniks.
* TJ Leaf is last man sitting in the Green Room with the Lakers picking at 27 and 28.
* One player refers to Adam Silver by the wrong first name in the interview. Possibly calls him Ron (only because I still do sometimes).

The guy is beloved. The NBA is the best run professional sports league in the world.
If he gives Seattle its (a) team back he'll be untouchable for a generation.
This is exactly what I want. Tatum, then Frank to replace Avery or Marcus, whoever is moved for him
so much for getting the 7th. That is an ok haul but LaVine is out until February with a torn ACL, and it's assuming he's healthy.
