Is current Jayson Tatum better than Melo ever was?

[Lebron23]

Yes

Tatum plays defense

Melo is a perfect fit for the James Worthy role

[tontoz]

Of course. This might have been a better discussion 2 or more years ago.

[ArbitraryWater]

For sure.

[SouBeachTalents]

I cannot imagine anybody who would take Melo over Tatum.

[Smook A.]

Tatum is easily better

[ImKobe]

About equal because Melo put up the similar numbers when it was harder to do so with less spacing and he never played on a team as good as these Celtics.

[Im so nba'd out]

No, Give me 09 Melo over tatum all day

Melo was always a ball stopper who didn't play D. He never made 1st team All NBA in his career and only made the 2nd team twice.

[ShawkFactory]

Yes. Melo was a more skilled half court scorer but Tatum does literally everything else better.

[ArbitraryWater]

You just know the Kobe crew would take Melo.


If TheMarkMadsen was still here, he would explain to us why Melo was better too. Same for that other guy, hoopcityjones or something.

[red1]

absolutely.


zero doubt.



look at the defensive he played last year. melo isnt doing that in a million years.

[LeGoat4Life]

Easily Melo during his time on the West

Tatum.... lol. Kid has one good season, lets see if he can continue this production for the next 5-7 years

what did melo do in the west outside of put up a ton of points?



you're retarded. tatum locking kd down and leading the celtics to the finals is already more impressive than anything melo did.
