Arguments can be made for that, for sure. I thought given the makeup of their roster, Tatum was the easier pick. Boston did a magnificent job leading up to that draft in getting what they got: extra 1st rounder and their guy all along.
I think the 76ers saw their chance to get a dominant guard to go along with Simmons and Embid. Hindsight shows the shooting and off ball skills of Tatum with Simmons was the best fit. Is what it is. That draft was definitely worth the tank though.
