Jayson Tatum’s jump shot has become a major talking point among not only Celtics fans, but throughout the entire NBA community. Can Jayson Tatum shoot? Did his time in the weight room break his jump shot? Does it even matter if Tatum can shoot?
For a player that’s had as much success as Tatum, it’s a little bizarre how hyper fixated people (myself included) are on his jumper. The reality is that when it comes to shooting an orange ball into a basket 24 feet away, there is an element of luck and variance. This is true for all basketball players.
