Re: Jamal Tatum playing well at Portsmouth Invitational
He has a chance. I wish he would have filled it up like that against Kansas. Could be like a Gary Payton type player.

Re: Jamal Tatum playing well at Portsmouth Invitational
If he is like Gary Payton, that will be absolutely amazing! Gary Payton is probably a Hall of Famer at the very least a multiple time NBA allstar and widely regarded as the top defensive point guard in the league during his prime. I just hope Tatum makes a roster and does well.

Re: Jamal Tatum playing well at Portsmouth Invitational
Did I say he is like Gary Payton? No. I said he is a Gary Payton type of player. Defense minded, hard-nosed and tough. The things that are different are Tatum can shoot better and isn't the punk Payton was or still is. If Payton is a Hall of Famer, I will make it a point to never visit the BB Hall of Fame. I do not think Payton deserves to be in the Hall. (Not saying you do).

Here is the assessment of one of the observers at Portsmouth...
"Jamaal Tatum, 6???‚¬?„?2, PG/SG, Southern Illinois
11 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 turnovers
Jamaal Tatum today did an excellent job improving on some of the weaknesses he showed in the previous game while also maintaining or improving all of the strengths he displayed. In the previous game, Tatum did a fairly good job running his team, but dominated the ball a bit, hurting the offensive rhythm of the team at times. Today, he didn???‚¬?„?t over-dribble at all, while still being able to consistently create offense for his teammates and keep everyone involved. He didn???‚¬?„?t shoot as well in this game, but still had an overall efficient game, and is continuing his campaign to prove he can effectively play the pure point guard position.
Tatum got into the lane very well today, both getting to the rim himself to score and dishing the ball out to his teammates for open perimeter jumpers or lay-ups around the basket. He does a good job drawing contact at the hoop, and is constantly putting pressure on the defense with his excellent first step and hard-nose in your face mentality. When a clear option to the rim isn???‚¬?„?t available, Tatum did a nice job finding the open man on drive and dish plays, being highly unselfish and showing pretty good awareness for where his teammates are. He???‚¬?„?s a good ball-handler and very smart finding openings to make good decisions, as he showed down the stretch using a screen to get into the paint and then knock down a pretty floater to give his team a clutch basket that was influential for the win.
Defensively, Tatum is a pesky guy who likes to get right in his man???‚¬?„?s grill and put outstanding pressure on the ball. His lateral quickness is very solid, and he has the type of aggressive mentality about him that can be very bothersome."

Tatum has continued to play well. Here's a nice writeup.
http://www.draftexpress.com/viewprofile.php?p=498
But Anthony Tolliver has played surprisingly well.
He had 11 pts, 12 rebs in his team's win Friday
http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/2007boxscores/2007game07.htm
Nate Funk didn't perform too well, and scored between 2-6 points in his games.
Blake Ahearn finally broke out and got 17 points in the 3rd place game
http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/2007boxscores/2007game11.htm
Warren Carter had horrible games, scoring four points in his first game, 6 points in his 2nd, then ZERO in his next when it mattered (the consolation championship).
http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/2007boxscores/2007game02.htm
http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/2007boxscores/2007game03.htm
http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/2007boxscores/2007game10.htm
In the Portsmouth Championship game, Tatum's team faced Tolliver's team.
Tatum had 17 pts, 7 rebs but his team came up short to Tolliver's team 113-103, as Anthony Tolliver had a fine game with 13 pts, 3 rebs, 4 asst.
Tolliver's teammate Russell Carter from Notre Dame came up huge with 28 points, 9 rebs, 7 asst.
http://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/2007boxscores/2007game12.htm
The overall MVP of the Portsmouth tourney was DaShaun Wood, a 5-foot-11 point guard from Wright State, who had 18 points and nine assists in his team's opening game, 15 points and nine assists in the semifinals, and had 14 points and nine assists in the title.
