What is Jayson Tatum's ceiling?

EDIT: Tatum only needs to average 30 ppg if Cs sweep the playoffs to end up ahead of Tony Parker on this list.

Just has to average 54 ppg over 18 more games to beat Kobe. Need the Cs to throw an average of 2 games per series to give him time.

His ceiling, as we now know, is best player in the world.

JVG is all in on this team. And like I said in the Beal thread, while the great defense is a big part of why this team is where it is….the team is a title contender because they have a ton of talent, most importantly an MVP level player.

Van Gundy thinks that one reason the Celtics are now playing like a dominant team -- a true team -- is the growth of Jayson Tatum. Van Gundy sees a star who has evolved from a great scorer to a great all-around player.

“Jayson Tatum is an unbelievably great player, and he’s improved from being a dominant scorer to being the best player on what could be the best team,” Van Gundy said. “Because he is now passing the ball consistently, making the right plays, which engenders unselfishness for the whole team. And then defensively, he’s been awesome. His commitment to the defensive end of the floor and his actual defensive skill and anticipation is off the charts.”

He may actually get there.
Durant and LeBron will have moved on.

Tatum will compete with similar present day (up and coming) Stars.

Jayson Tatum,:
1) Star in the Making
2) He's not 19, anymore
3) MVP of the Future?

Give me a day. My head is blasted today and I'm unusually busy with actually having to do stuff haha.

According to one of the rival scouts with whom I spoke, his team’s defensive analytics of opposing players indicate that Tatum is the best defender on this Celtics squad that is chock full of them.

I just remember when I got scolded for calling him Top 5 Tatum a little while back. Top 1 Tatum is the ceiling. He looks like the best player in the league right now.

Dominate 'em Tatum. Domijaytion!

Your mom loves Jayson Tatum

My gf refers to him as Jayson Tatyum

[bisme37]

Lots of people on TV saying there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop him now. True superstar status.

And he's taken the crown from KD as the NBA's ultimate mismatch. Can't put a big on him, can't put a small on him. You just hope he misses.

[1st banana]

He so big now too. I mean he just kept bodying claxton and kd. I started thinking I’m not so sure he won’t be able to play decent defense against Giannis.

He’s really been giving me Lebron vibes more lately the way he impacts the game and how he reacts to and bends the defense.

He could legit be seen as the best player in the world as soon as this playoffs.

Channeling Tatum (don't like that one -- I'm not too clear on who Channing Tatum even is)

Treetop Lover (not ideal on a team that also has a player named Brown with a 2-syllable first name)

Come to think of it, we definitely should have a thread someday called Bad, Bad Jaylen Brown

I'm a fan of the Tatum verbatim ultimatum. It's a tasty gem, but may cause mayhem in people's brain stems.
