In the NBA Finals, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown achieved something remarkable. Over five games against the Dallas Mavericks, the two combined for 184 drives to the basket. This averages to more than 19 drives per game for Tatum and over 17 per game for Brown.
Drive them crazy
To put this into perspective, only four players in the NBA last season averaged more than 17 drives per game: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (23.5), Ja Morant (21.2), Jalen Brunson (19.5), and Luka Donu010diu0107 (17.6). Now, we can’t expect Tatum and Brown to drive this often throughout the regular season.
