Tatum gonna be the best of the 3

He's more popular than the other two players. I've been hearing Giles name since 2014.

Giles torn an ACL for the second time already, so thats a little scary

Tatum is bigger and a more polished scorer right now, but jackson is relentless, and a freak athlete. I think hes the best bet, long term.

All three should be great to watch next year in college.

Josh Jackson



Best upside overall - Scottie Pippen type with better handle and 1-on-1 ability.. But he's likely an equally abysmal shooter.

Also, he has no post-game or ability to operate without a live dribble.. In today's game, it won't prevent him from being a good offensive player, but it WILL hurt his ability to overcome excellent defense

Injuries ****ed this guy - he blew out his knee twice.

Before that, he would've been the best player in the heralded 2016 class... easily

But now, he'll just be a banger in the NBA - seriously - his ceiling is Al Horford (and that's REALLY stretching it), but it could've been Chris Webber.

I hope he proves me wrong like a mother****er

You know how people say "I wish I would've thought like that when I was younger".... Well, some guys are lucky and DON'T have to say that when they get older because they have it figured out already.

This is one of those guys - you can tell within a few seconds of watching him interview - max confidence without being cocky... Just really sure of himself... Bam Adebayo is like that too.

As a ballplayer, he's more polished offensively than Josh Jackson, but less explosive - he operates at the speed of a paul pierce, and that's his ceiling imo... Offensively, he's ready to reach this ceiling and contribute sooner than Jackson.. He's an excellent shooter.
