Video: Breaking down Jayson Tatum's 3rd year leap




Coach Nick from BballBreakdown as well as Tatum's trainer Drew Hanlen break down the changes in Jayson's game to boost him into the NBA's superstar class. Besides a much higher usage rate, Tatum is taking the ball to the hoop considerably more this season. And when he does shoot from the outside, you're seeing more 3-pointers as opposed to contested long 2's. Or as Hanlen mentions, Tatum is shooting "more 3's, more finishes at the basket and more free throws." That's straight out of the NBA analytics blueprint. Another subtle point that coach Nick illustrates is how well Daniel Theis and Tatum have played together.
