Tatum is on the light side currently (205 lbs, 19 yrs old) and will naturally add more weight as he gets professional training. But he doesn't look like the type who can add significant weight. Maybe he tops out at 220 lbs (maybe 225). That puts him in Paul George's and Giannis Anttetekuompo's range (slender types who can play the 4).
Tatum is a good rebounder, has inside post moves, and has length and reach to match up with taller 4's. The concern is how he'll fare guarding heavier 4's, especially those with a low center of gravity (Sullinger, for instance).
But I think it's very possible to play him there.

Like Tatum @ the 4 on offense. Maybe Stevens can hide him on defense, playing Horford (maybe not because BOS is thin upfront).

Give him a year or so in the weight room I would suspect within the next couple years he'll be around 220-235 range. He's only 19 years old in which he still has some growing left in him. I like him as a stretch 4 that today's NBA plus, his quickness will allow him to stay infront of most PF in the NBA.

Seems like a stretch, which I read fairly often now. |
