We know about Lonzo Ball. We know about Markelle Fultz. But do we know about Jayson Tatum? The Celtics claimed before the draft that they would take Jayson Tatum first overall. He is that good. This was a public statement but Philly and LA still chose to take their respective players.
Now we're noticing what kind of potential this athletic wing has. He is long and freakishly athletic. He's motivated and plays with a chip on his shoulder. He can play the 4 and stretch the floor with his jump shot just like Al Horford.
If I haven't convinced you yet then just watch the highlights below. The end of the 3rd quarter was my personal favourite.
Let me know how you feel about Tatum and how he matches up with the other rookies! If you're interested in good current basketball content please hit the follow button.
