The evolution of Jayson Tatum’s shot making

One constant that has steadied the Celtics throughout this unique season is the continued rise of Jayson Tatum. With his co-All-Star Jaylen Brown, he has led the Celtics through a rocky season. It has been remarkable seeing Tatum’s progression through this league. This year he has again stepped it up on the offensive end showing that he can score from anywhere on the court.

During his first year or so, Jayson Tatum focused on the most comfortable shots in his repertoire. It was crafting his mid-range pull-up game at the NBA level. It occasionally maddened Celtics fans as he was not developing other, more efficient shots in his game.
