Jayson Tatum Gives the Boston Celtics Lineup Flexibility

Jayson Tatum is still the youngest Celtic. The 6-foot-8 Duke product, starting his second year, is still one of the thirty youngest players in the league. Tatum’s offensive ability is simply stunning to watch. Having the ball handling ability of a point guard and being the perfect size of a modern-day NBA wing, Tatum plays with a distinct offensive fluidity. His improvements so far give the Celtics the added ability to play smaller lineups down the stretch.

Through the first four games, rebounding stands out as Tatum’s most notable improvement. He is averaging 10.5 rebounds per game through the first four games.
