So he will have a weak Finals record beginning this season when he loses to expert jumpshooter Tatum..
Tatum's skillset allows the ball to move, so if I'm starting a team, I would take Tatum all day long because his game has the stable chemistry to develop over time.. He didn't need a bunch of upheavals like Luka had with Porzingas, Brunson and now Kyrie..
Ball-dominators like Luka and Lebron impose spot-up roles, thereby needing ready-made stars to win (can't win organically).
