Jayson Tatum continued his steady rise in sophomore season

Jayson Tatum entered his second season in the NBA with a world of confidence. He was coming off a strong playoff performance averaging 18.5 points. Tatum took over and was a major part of the Celtics’ success making it to the Eastern Conference Finals without Kyrie Irving or Gordon Hayward. Even as it was an unfortunate Game 7 result to Cleveland Cavaliers, Tatum still was able to end his rookie season on a personal high-note dunking on LeBron James. The sky was certainly the limit for the third overall selection out of Duke University.
