Jayson Tatum however is on a completely different spectrum. Tatum has a song written about him with his very name as the title. He hasn’t even played a game in the NBA Summer League yet!
I’m half-kidding of course, but the fact that this rookie has a song dedicated to himself is already impressive as it is. That’s without anyone even turning to his amazing college stats from his Freshman year at Duke.
Tatum averaged 16.8 ppg, coupled with 7.3 rpg and 2.1 assists as well. Tatum’s offensive abilities have already been known to be quite amazing, but his defensive presence has always been felt by his opponents as well.
