Jayson Tatum 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoBoston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum impressed all year long and finished his inaugural NBA campaign third in rookie of the year voting. Tatum actually improved offensively as the season progressed, averaging 15.0 points per game and 45.3 percent from three post all-star break compared to 13.5 points and 42.7 percent from three pre all-star break. Tatum mainly benefited from Gordon Hayward’s absence, but was a perfect fit for Brad Stevens’ system. Even with Hayward nearing a return this season, Tatum is still in position to start at the four and should benefit from playing off another superstar in Boston’s arsenal, lining him up for another top-50 finish.
