Jayson Tatum says, “I want to make an all-defensive team"

Jayson Tatum has set another individual goal for this coming NBA season. In a recent interview with The Messenger Sports Tatum proclaimed, “I want to make an all-defensive team."

Last season Derrick White made the All-Defensive team and the previous campaign, Marcus Smart not only made it, but won Defensive Player of the Year honors. With Smart now a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, a defensive upgrade from Jayson Tatum (and/or Jaylen Brown) would be a much needed boost.
