That’s not really true. According to stats on NBA.com, 26% of Tatum’s shots have been wide open. For comparison, Ryan Anderson has a 49.2% mark on the same category.

He has a much better mark on wide open shots obviously but it’s not like he’s making super easy shots one after another.

Not sure who was doing the radio call, but I think the T-wolves broadcast team are considered to be 1 of the best in the NBA currently (Dave Benz & Jim Petersen). Personally, they’re one of the few I can watch/listen to. Obviously we’re spoiled with Breen & Clyde.

FWIW, here’s a survey from 2016. T-wolves come in 5th. Check out who’s 1st though. 😉

I agree it’s interesting, but I don’t think results would be much different. Tatum was the Celtics pick for the same reasons they would be redrafting him 1st, because he’s NBA ready and the Celtics have Irving set as the PG for the next many years. If Philly knew Boston was going to pick Tatum anyway they would have simply stayed put, the Lakers would have gone for Lonzo and then Fultz to Philly. I still think both Lonzo and Fultz are the top 3 picks because it’s about ceiling and not current production for both teams, to be honest.

Things get interesting when it comes to Phoenix. While I think Jackson is going to be a hell of a defender (he’s already showing signs) they could be tempted by Mitchell, who’s pretty much the only lottery guy I see rising a lot. Then outside of the lottery, there’s Kuzma and Bell who would get into the lottery for sure (probably ahead of guys like Kennard, Zach Collins, Adebayo and maybe Ntilikina or Monk) by the rest is still to early to tell.

He’s basically what the Celtics hoped they were gonna get out of Gordon Hayward.
