I hope his main focus has been rebounding with the pull-up three, and taking in rhythm mid range shots.

That would make him close to unstoppable status, on a more consistent basis.

That and I'd like to see a focus on powering through rim traffic and drawing contact while finishing (continued improvement). If he added a floater to the arsenal that'd be nice but not totally necessary.

A line of 28/9/6 on 47/40/87 is doable even with the reinforcements.

Speaking of two months, allegedly Tatum played the last two months of the season with a broken wrist

Hopefully the team starts off strong so our stars don't feel the need to play through injuries while trying to get a higher seed. Wing depth also matters and having someone who can keep the team afloat whenever he sits. Brogs and Gallo should help in this regard.

Yikes. The fact that he’s using this as an excuse is weak. Awful look. No longer a fan

No longer a fan? Finally let's goooo Your shtick of pretending to be a Celtics fan has been amazing to watch. Enjoy the trolling on another website!

And oh btw he never used it as an excuse. If you actually watched the video you would know but we know you only looked at the clickbait quote!

Do we know specific details about the wrist injury? Any procedures needed? Any higher chance of re-injury this coming season?

Tatum only needs to average 35.79 points in 28 playoff games in 2023 to surpass Kobe for most postseason points before turning 26.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

This is pretty cool, and it shows why the way players are defended is so important. Tatum is going to warp the **** out of defenses whether he’s 6-15 or 9-15. It’s why our offense smokes teams when he’s in, and why it falls off a cliff without him.

2. Who will be the best player in the NBA in five years?

Giannis Antetokounmpo: 7 votes

Luka Doncic: 6 votes

Jayson Tatum: 2 votes

Also receiving consideration was the 24-year-old Tatum, who is coming off leading the Celtics to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years.

Both Tatum voters pointed to his status as one of the league's premier young two-way stars.

"Just because of the defensive component," said an Eastern Conference scout. "Luka is a stud, and you don't need to be a defensive lockdown guy to be an All-NBA player like he is, but having Tatum's self-creation ability, his physical tools and his ability to give you defensive versatility, that's pretty special.

"Luka did a hell of a job carrying that team this year, but the two-way wing creator/scorer is the ultimate archetype, and Tatum is that at 24 years old, and just got that team to the Finals. I just like his ability to give you something defensively that Luka likely never will be able to."

It would sell more if he wins All-Star MVP, RS MVP, and Finals MVP all in 2023.

TIL Duke has yet to produce an NBA MVP. (I'm not sure about Finals MVP.) Is Tatum their best chance? Or Zion?
