During the Celtics playoff run last spring, Jayson Tatum shot just 28% from behind the arc. Playing for Team USA this summer, Tatum didn’t make a jump shot at all during the Olympics.
I know it is only two preseason games that we won’t remember come next month, but this is an encouraging start.
His once lethal pull-up has turned into a shot that makes me cringe every time he takes it.
Jayson Tatum became a pull-up maestro this season. He shot 39.9 percent on pull-up 3s and ranked in the 88th percentile off the dribble.
