Don’t let Jayson Tatum’s lights-out shooting distract you from his increasingly impressive dunk reel

Jayson Tatum is on pace for a historically good shooting season, and not only for a rookie.

While his three-point shooting percentage has fallen over the course of the last month, Tatum is still making 45 percent of his shots from long distance, currently good for seventh in the entire NBA. In fact, at this pace, Tatum would become just the second Celtic to ever shoot 45 percent from deep on at least two three-point shots a game and 400 minutes played. The first was Ray Allen. Tatum would also become just the fourth rookie ever to accomplish such a feat.
