There have long been comparisons between Jayson Tatum and Paul Pierce (which I like a lot better than say comparisons to Carmelo Anthony). Pierce himself has acknowledged the similarities in their games. Now it seems like Pierce is interested in helping Tatum reach new levels.
The Celtic coaches have worked with Tatum on his game, and it’s hard to argue with the overall results so far, but Pierce had a lot of driving and low post trips in his bag — enough to make him the franchise leader in career free throws made and attempted, as well as the single season record holder in both categories.
