Boston Celtics wing Jayson Tatum was a top-three rookie this year, and when you factor in his playoff performance, he may have showed that he has the highest ceiling of anyone in his loaded rookie class.
So, it should come as a compliment, then, when former Wildcat Kevin Knox draws comparisons to Tatum.
Comparing the two physically, they’re awfully similar. Knox stands 6-9 with shoes, Tatum stands 6-8 and 1/4. Knox weighs 213, Tatum weighed 204 at Duke. Knox has a 6-11 and 3⁄4 wingspan, Tatum has a 6-11 wingspan.
