‘He has everything’: Jayson Tatum’s growth as a scorer on full display in blowout win against Pacers

It’s just four games into the season, but Jayson Tatum’s scoring ability appears even more refined than last year when he became the first Celtic to average 30 points in a season.

He’s clearly packed on muscle, giving him even more strength to attack the rim and create space on post-ups. He’s shooting a scorching-hot 56 percent from the field through his first four games.

Tatum scored 21 of his team-high 30 points by halftime of Wednesday’s 155-104 win against Indiana. He went 9 for 15 from the floor, including 3-for-5 from 3-point range.
