The Sporting News has a new story about Jayson Tatum’s impact on the Celtics. There are some stats that should put a giant smile on your face:
He has proven to be an outstanding 3-point shooter (42.9 percent), but also an excellent midrange shooter (43.5 percent from 16 feet out, according to basketball-reference.com). Tatum takes just 10.1 shots per game, but still averages 13.6 points. When Tatum takes 12 shots or more, the Celtics have gone 17-4.
