Tatum is going to have a problem getting minutes. A problem finding the right role for him that utilizes his strengths. The Celtics have a number of players that are his same size. If he gets first team minutes he will be the 4th option probably. Theoretically he could be their number one scoring option for their second team, but that being his role makes the trade seem like a bad one. They could use another guard at this point.
With Ball we will have to wait and see. This is summer league. He is going to look better with better weapons, but he does need to be a threat to score so he can draw the defenses and then find the shooters and cutters. While Jason Kidd couldn’t shoot until later in his career he was a much better athlete.
