@thetruth-highlights where do you have prime Pierce if he played today? If Jayson Tatum is the #1 small forward today. I’d have Pierce over him sure. 00-01 isnt even prime Pierce but his game is completely polished compared to other wings today. He’s getting everything off a couple dribbles.
There's something fundamentally off in Tatum's game, how can he not post smaller defenders and finish in traffic consistently like Pierce? Its how tatum sets himself, he holds the ball too long while Pierce had more variety. Pierce moves better without the ball and welcomes contact. Id take Pierce over Tatum, Tatum had the endorsement and makerting in the modern era that Pierce never had, that's why some People would think Tatum is better because of his stats and highlights.
