This man has never been this wide open, and he was an elite shooter last year in Washington.

He's taken 38 shots and is 60% from 2 and 62% from 3.

Everyone is talking about the Giannis/Dame PnR, but I believe the Tatum/Porzingis PnR is going to be as deadly because of their size and shooting combination.

Take a look at some of the highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCXIpU2JYlU&t.

As the second/third man of an action he's absolutely unstoppable. Catch and shoot from anywhere, can drive and closeout, lob threat, and has quick footwork to catch defenders trying to close on him (watch him break ankles).

And on defense he's been much better than I thought. He's poised and uses his body without getting baited. I'm stoked for this season. Health is an issue for sure, but I'm hoping that his role will be less taxing than previous seasons.
