If everything breaks right for Lillard, he might be as good as Lillard is right now.
If everything breaks right for Tatum he'll be a top 3-5 player in the league.

Why am I getting bated into bashing Dame when I have nothing to do with whatever weird machinations are going on in KOD-world?
I'll assume Tatum will go back to playing high level defense this season now that he won't presumably be on an inhaler from the aftermath of COVID.
Even in his bad defensive year, though, Tatum was a significantly better defender than Dame, & will be significantly easier to build a team around, etc.
I'm not going to bash anyone else's pick right now, though. They all make sense in their own ways, no one has gone too crazy & a lot will be determined with who else gets drafted to play with them.
