Five-time All-Star Jayson Tatum plays for the Boston Celtics in the NBA. He was picked third overall in the 2017 NBA Draft and played in the conference finals the same year. Tatum garnered instant attention after his dunk on Lebron James in the playoffs and everyone knew he was going to be something special.
Tatum has been to the conference finals five times already in his young career. He is currently playing in his second finals appearance having lost the first one to the Golden State Warriors in six games.
What is scary is that Tatum is just 26 years old and has yet to enter his prime. He already has a lot of playoff experience and knows what it takes to win a championship as he was on the cusp of winning one in the 2021 season. He can score from all three levels, pass the ball, defend, and has one of the best handles to create separation from his defenders.
In the 2023/24 season, Tatum played 74 games and averaged 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. After adding Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to their already stacked roster this offseason, this could be a championship year for the Celtics.
