Boston Celtics: Why Jayson Tatum will become a superstar this season

Jayson Tatum is the franchise cornerstone the Boston Celtics have been looking for since their Big-3 era back in the mid-aughts to the early 2010s.

The 2x All-Star has taken on a bigger role and put forth more production in each of his first four seasons. The stage is primed and ready for Tatum to take the superstar leap in this upcoming season.

The 23-year-old produced at an All-NBA caliber level last season. He averaged a career-high in points, rebounds, and assists with 26.4, 7.4, and 4.3 respectively.

The C’s star turned it up late in the year by scoring a career-high 60 points in April, and two 50 point games in May.
