1. Jayson Tatum

The 2018-19 season was a step back for Jayson Tatum, but that wasn’t completely his fault.

Boston played a very individual-focused game. Kyrie Irving had the ball in his hands a lot. This took a lot of opportunities away from Tatum and interrupted the flow of the Celtics game.

Now I think we will see a lot of ball movement again and this should help Jayson Tatum out. With a more free-flowing offense there should be plenty of open shots to go around.

I expect this to be the season that Jayson Tatum finally makes the leap we were looking for. Hopefully Tatum will average at least 20 points and establish himself as one of the best young players in the NBA.

This is a great opportunity for Tatum. He will get to prove how great of a scorer he is. Hopefully he will not let the Boston Celtics down.
