NBA ROLE: OFFENSIVE SUPERSTAR
Boston Celtics superstar, Jayson Tatum is...just a pure hooper, plain & simple - play style & confidence of someone who'll perform at a high level for a very long time; very polished offensive player - comfortable going 1-on-1 & getting solo buckets; death by ISO: one-dribble pull-ups, one-dribble step backs, one-legged fadeaways, up & unders, leaners - (no question) J. Tatum will score a lot of points as a pro; developing playmaker, mainly looks to get his but can find the open man - narrative will eventually change as he gets more comfortable as a creator; very good rebounder, one of the leaders at his position; has improved physicality & effectiveness on D (& the boards) - Tatum doesn't get bullied/succumb to physicality, even when playing at the 4 spot; solid athlete by NBA standards, though JT possesses many crafty "1st" steps/moves - has plenty of counters to get by/score over his matchup; near DIFF. BREED-level duo w/ Jaylen Brown; 30 ppg scorer! - JT has emerged as a top 10 talent; starred otw to BOS’s Finals appearance in 2022 - can Tatum and the C’s realize a trophy in 2024?
