The problem is the step back 3 is his favorite.
BINGO!
The problem is
JT is the teams top rebounder out of need
JT is the teams top playmaker out of need
JT is also asked to be the top offensive option.
JT also is a top notch defender
That is not sustainable unless you are a once a generation type of athletic freak like Giannis or Lebron or MJ. even then, they break down or coast on defense (lebron)
Tatum is more a Tim Duncan player than Lebron. And thats not a knock on him at all, he isnt blessed with supreme athleticism or freak size. Instead he works hard and kills it that way....but that wears you down....and the result is taking step back 3s instead of attacking the rim. Taking fade aways instead of taking the hit.
Yeah, time for Brad to get an explosive PG that can attack the rim with force.
A PG like Castle is what the Cs need.
That should lessen JT's playmaking.
JT doing it all does not work anymore.
