The thing about Tatum, regardless of however he comes back, he takes up mental space.
And it's funny because you saw this against yesterday watching the Nuggets game against the Timberwolves of that on off with Jokic.
When Jokic comes back on the floor, Jamal Murray goes off for a few quick buckets.
It's the mental space within the defense of his mind to know, oh, Jason Tatum's on the floor.
That's a great point.
He might not be Jason Tatum from whenever.
But Jason Tatum is on the floor.
We have got to do something.
It says Tatum on the jersey.
So we have to allocate a bit of our energy, some level of our energy to him.
And what does that do?
Open up Steric White.
Open up Jalen Brown.
Open up Peyton Pritchard.
And that is more than anything, I think, the value that I always trust because it's equity built in.
