if Tatum averages a few more steals and blocks over the next 9 games, that small bag of cherries might be seen another way
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts........

Re: Tatum stats to date
With Heyward back you wouldnt thing Taco Jay would be shooting more - but he is (and again - 41% - Fultz territory)
To be fair, rebounds and assists are up. As is the very impressive FT% (.88)
Win shares/48 (.117 from .139) and VORP (0.2 from 1. are of course down. Maybe even Celts fans - the reasonable ones - expected that.
Word to the wise: So I understand you won't understand.
9 games is a small sample size to draw conclusions particularly with injured players being re-integrated into a deep team.
that is to say its all but meaningless to draw conclusions today about what you might find in January, April or June.
But i see after I called you out for your cherry picking, you've included a few more cherries in your bag, but those cherries are also kind of meaningless.
Again basketball is a team game, where skills are blended, and flaws hidden, its not a fantasy game where one player's #s are necessarily indicative of success.
