Tatum has been working on contact finishing for years. I don't think it's physical at this point. It's a mindset.

A pull up game is a great counter to the defense's counter. I do worry he could fall in love with it over moving the ball.

Jayson Tatum is two three-pointers short of 1,000 makes in the regular season and playoffs combined. Only 7 players have made 1,000+ threes since he was drafted -- Curry, Harden, Hield, Dame, Mitchell, PG, and McCollum. Hield hasn't made one in the postseason.

Ok I appreciate the Tatum love but whoever those execs are don't know ball if they don't think KD is top 5 imo lol

I’d have KD only behind Giannis, personally.

Who has a better supporting cast...

Tatum 2022-23 or Lebron 2015-16?

I am not convinced Tatum will end up the all time leader but he could. By some rough math Tatum is going to need 5 consecutive years playing 73 games and averaging 27.5 ppg to catch Bird.

Hopefully he works on his decisiveness. His slight hesitation any time he had space completely killed us in the Finals.

I think a small part of it was decisiveness, the Warriors made him uncomfortable. But mostly, it was just fatigue/being beat up, dude had ZERO explosion/lift. Just look at game 6 against the Bucks, he got wherever he wanted on the court, and was finishing against Giannis/Lopez at the rim, and they are as elite as it gets at protecting the paint.

The two things I really want to see him work on is getting the pull up three back to an elite level, and get a better floater. Dude is going to wreck the league next year, no doubt about it.

I was just thinking the other day about how I missed the 2020-2021 Tatum step back 3's. It was arguably the Celtics most exciting play (I'm partial to the Time Lord oop) but more importantly was an excellent source of efficient scoring for us.

This is a terrific JT doc considering it seems to be made by a random Lakers fan on YouTube.

His defensive numbers in the playoffs were just ridiculous.

Jays going to fight over the ball every possession next season. Chemistry ruined because of the allure of max contracts. Tsk tsk. Trade them both before that happens.
