Forgive me if my praise is fainter than it should be.
Jayson Tatum had himself a career night against the Brooklyn Nets, logging 34 points on 12-of-19 shooting, along with five boards and three blocks and dishes to boot.
Jayson Tatum had some success tonight running pick-and-rolls. Not a task he's asked to do a lot when everyone's healthy, but I'm curious what he would do if given more opportunities in that role.— Jay King (@ByJayKing) January 15, 2019
That's a damn impressive statline, but even after showing us some shiny new pick-and-roll skills, I'm afraid it will take a backseat to the mediocre play of his teammates, particularly on the second unit.
