Got to be the 3 time all nba 1st Teamer, Jayson Tatum…and he’s only 19!
Obviously Tatum anyone who is retired has reached their potential
Kendrick became annoying post nba career but Grant was annoying as a celtic too lol
Len Bias? I don’t think he falls under wasted potential.
Same argument for Reggie lewis! Man had the keys to the franchise
Len Bias
Still 19 year old Tatum
If Tatum retires right now, his 5x All Star, 4x All NBA team, 2 Olympics gold medal and NBA championship resume would be considered borderline hall of fame.
Technically he even has not hit his prime yet, at the age of only 26.
So Jayson Tatum.
Tatum easily, next
Kyle kuzma, according to that one picture Lakers fans loved to share
perk shouldn’t be there. he became annoying post celts. len bias for most potential
A lot saying obviously Tatum, and I do agree, but I don’t think it’s obvious like everyone is stating. Tatum has the most potential to reach the highest heights for sure. Though, I think JB could come very close. Also, if you were to ask this question a year or two ago, I’d argue JB had more potential to grow (ie. His ceiling was further away). If that makes sense, what I’m trying to say is yes Tatum has a higher ceiling but he was closer to it from the beginning of his career than JB was at the beginning of his career.
While we are here let’s just knock out best passer too Rondo
Tatum lol.
There’s never been any Celtics who could have become really good but left outside of Chauncey and Len, who both probably wouldn’t be as good as Tatum.
This isn’t like Dallas where they hemorrhage all stars because their number 1 option hasn’t figured out how to share the ball yet, or one of those giga small markets (OKC/NOLA) where they lose an MVP to trade/injury/FA every 5 years.
Celtics have always gotten the most out of their guys because of the team first culture.
So I’m gonna say Len Bias.
I don’t consider him ‘wasted’ potential, in the sense that he didn’t live long enough *to* waste it. I think of ‘wasted’ potential as someone who played a full career, but never played *to their potential*.
