Boston Celtics: 4 reasons team exceeded expectations already

Jayson Tatum is becoming a superstar

One of the more amazing things to come out of the 2019-20 season is the rapid progression of Jayson Tatum. He hasn’t just taken the next step, he is playing at a whole new level.

Tatum is leading the team in points (23.4) and is also averaging 7.1 rebounds a game.

Besides the stats there is Tatum’s confidence. He is taking over games and establishing himself against some of the NBA’s best players.

Tatum is also shooting effectively, he isn’t just chucking up shots. He has a field goal percentage of 45 and a 3 point percentage just under 40 percent.

February was Tatum’s best month as a pro in his career. He averaged 30 points a game for the entire month and was even named NBA Player of the Month.

If this is how Tatum is performing now imagine what he will do next season. The sky is the limit for him.
