Jayson Tatum ranked sixth in Yahoo Fantasy. Is that too high?

Yahoo Fantasy Sports has the Celtics Jayson Tatum at the sixth spot in their rankings this season. I honestly didn't project that he would be quite so high in the rankings. 



  1. 1. Nikola Jokic
  2. 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
  3. 3. Luka Doncic
  4. 4. James Harden
  5. 5. Damian Lillard
  6. 6. Jayson Tatum
  7. 7. Karl-Anthony Towns
  8. 8. Paul George
  9. 9. Zion Williamson
  10. 10. Bradley Beal
  11. 11. Stephen Curry
  12. 12. Trae Young
  13. 13. Domantas Sabonis
  14. 14. De'Aaron Fox
  15. 15. Bam Adebayo
  16. 16. LeBron James
  17. 17. Joel Embiid
  18. 18. Julius Randle
  19. 19. Russell Westbrook
  20. 20. Kevin Durant
  21. 21. Fred VanVleet
  22. 22. Donovan Mitchell
  23. 23. Nikola Vucevic
  24. 24. LaMelo Ball
  25. 25. Anthony Davis

My first reaction to the list is that Yahoo expects a bit of a jump for Jayson. But there is also some irony here. Does Tatum and Karl Anthony Towns together at the 6-and-7 spots a sign that the Minnesota big man may team up with Tatum in Boston? 

And JT four spots ahead of his mentor, Bradley Beal, hopefully bodes well for the Celtics star going forward. Also, Jayson ahead of seasoned superstars Lebron James (#16), Kevin Durant (#20) and Anthony Davis (#25) is not exactly back page news either.

My dilemma is - do I take Tatum if I am picking in the top six for my Fantasy team. I am looking to my Fantasy Followers to give me some help. Damn it! I am excited for this season to get started.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

By
  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
