I think that’s a fair point, but at the risk of sounding like a broken record I don’t think that people realize how young Tatum is because he’s been performing at a very high level for almost 3-4 years now. He’s the same age as Luka and Shai, and only 2 years older than Tyrese yet I feel as though those guys (maybe not with Luka as much) are still labeled as young and up and coming while the perception is that Tatum doesn’t have a lot of potential anymore. I think there’s a decent chance that those young guys take a few years from ages 22-25 ironing out the small flaws in their games (similar to how Tatum did) before they contend for MVPs from ages 26-31, and Tatum will likely have a decent shot then
