‘He can grow from it and get better’: Several analysts remain hopeful on Jayson Tatum following NBA Finals loss

There’s no way around it, Jayson Tatum had a bad performance in the 2022 NBA Finals.

The Celtics’ young star scored 21.5 points per game on 36.2 percent shooting from the field. More specifically, Tatum made just 31.6 percent of his 2-point field goals, which is the lowest for a player who had at least 75 2-point field goal attempts in the last 60 NBA Finals, and he committed 15 turnovers over the last three games.

Even though Tatum had a massive disappointment on the biggest stage of his professional career, several NBA media members still believe Tatum has a bright future ahead of him.
