Former Lakers star Kobe Bryant on Wednesday took part in a teleconference to promote ESPN’s new basketball analysis show, Detail, which is being produced by Bryant’s Granity Studios. During the call, Bryant was asked about Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum.

“His game is really well flushed out,’’ Bryant said. “Great midrange game. He can post up. He can finish at the rim. He handles the ball very well. He can shoot the long ball. I think there’s still little itty-bitty things that he’ll need to develop as his game progresses. Defenses tend to double him more to catch up to him.
