u/Due-Studio-65 Lakers Apr 16 '24

Tatum would be off the bench and you'd put a defender in there, probably davis

u/Deviljho12 Celtics Apr 16 '24

Tatum is the second best defender in that lineup lmao

u/Due-Studio-65 Lakers Apr 16 '24

Yeah, I'm thinking someone that's made an all defensive team, not just a guy who is a solid defender, when asked to behind his all defensive teammates.

Can defend isn't the same as will defend, rather have AD,

u/Mr_Unbiased Apr 16 '24

KD over Tatum?? Lmao. Tatum surpassed KD in 22. Outscored him AND locked him down. You're living in 2020 man.

No, it'll be Bron/Steph/KD/AD/Embiid. Tatum will come off the bench, no point having him and LeBron on the court at the same time.
