Tatum is the better shooter. Averages more assists, more steals, fewer turnovers. Tatum is five inches shorter and thirty-five pounds lighter than Zingis, but he only averages one rebound fewer per game. Defensively, Tatum is unquestionably the better and more versatile player. Tatum's 4Q numbers are superior. Tatum's a key component on the best team in the East, whereas Zingis is a Top 4 usage player in the NBA on a sub-.500 team. I could easily argue that if you doubled Tatum's usage that he could score four more buckets per game and match Zingis's scoring numbers.

I understand that Zingis will get it over Tatum. I hear that argument, duh. But if you want me to make an argument for my guy on that list? There it is.
