Ever since he was drafted by the Boston Celtics with their 3rd pick of the 2017 Draft, Jayson Tatum has been a straight-up star in this league. The 6-foot-8 former Duke Blue Devil is only 23 years of age and has already established himself as one of the elite players in the entire association.
JT has racked quite the resume so far in his career – 3 All-Star selections, an All-NBA selection, an All-Rookie team selection, and already has 4 50-point games. It goes without saying, looking at his potential and the staggering numbers he puts up on a daily basis, the forward could be one of the future faces of the league.
Over the past few years, Tatum has managed to impress and gain the respect of his competitors and even former legends. Former Philly icon Allen Iverson is one of the many who seems to be a fan of Jayson’s game.
