Pretty well done here, BaseballJones. You nailed it.
Heh. Blind squirrel, acorn, etc.
Actual stats:
Tatum: 18.6 fga, 23.4 points
Brown: 15.6 fga, 20.3 points
Both, as it turns out, are elite defenders.
But honestly, it wasn't that hard a prediction. Though you look at where they were last year and the improvement is remarkable:
2018-19
Tatum: 13.1 fga, 15.7 points
Brown: 10.7 fga, 13.0 points
It's so obvious that the key move for Boston this offseason was letting Kyrie go and acquiring Kemba. Kyrie might be a more transcendent basketball talent (he might not be but he might be) than Kemba, but in terms of a player who could get the most out of Tatum and Brown, it's so clear that Kemba is far superior to Kyrie. Kyrie NEEDED to be the alpha and that stunted the growth of Tatum and Brown. Kemba is an alpha player who doesn't need to be the alpha, and has clearly tried to push Tatum and Brown to new heights, knowing it would be best for their growth and the betterment of the team.
So as a guy you want for THIS roster, Kemba >>>>>>>>>> Kyrie, and it isn't particularly close.
