Tatum's rapidly improving. His first six games (coming back from injury) are weighing down his averages, but he's been killer and very efficient recently. The overall effect is that because the coming-back-from-injury games were against noncon opponents, he's been better against the stronger competition.

Tatum has been awesome as a college 4 but lets be real - hes limited as a pro 3(his only real projection). If youre drafting him, youre gambling he can both giard NBA wings and routinely get to the basket vs NBA wing defenders. Hes turned into an awesome college 4 but I dont see how he turns into a real NBA player.
I don't see how him guarding NBA wings is a concern. He's 6'8, long and athletic. His defense has been good thus far in college. Not a concern. At minimum he projects as a 3/D small forward, and if he can get to the basket as well he has star potential.
