How Kevin Durant could help Jayson Tatum thrive

If you’re a Boston Celtics fan, your world is probably in a tailspin right now. That’s what happens when credible rumors surface about potentially trading for a superstar — especially when it also means losing two of your team’s best players.

Everyone will have their own feelings on whether the Celtics should, or should not make this deal, and I’m not here to convince you one way or another. However, I am curious about what Kevin Durant’s arrival could mean for Jayson Tatum.

Indulge me a little bit here.

There’s no question that Tatum has evolved as a player over the last twelve months, specifically in how he orchestrates an offense and sets the table for his teammates.
