The 2019-20 regular season was undoubtedly kind to Boston Celtics third year wing Jayson Tatum. After a rough second year many deemed a “sophomore slump” the 22 year old seemed motivated to prove that he’s been worthy of the exorbitant hype surrounding him throughout the duration of his young career.
And proved it he did!
Through 59 games Tatum put up career highs seemingly all across the board. Averaging 34.6 minutes, the wing stuffed the stat sheet with 23.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 steals and just shy of a block per game on 45 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from deep.
