David Epstein’s “Range” is making the rounds as the book of September. I haven’t read it yet, however its premise of “the great generalist” made me think of Jayson Tatum and Team USA. Tatum, dubbed a Hall-of-Famer off a great playoff run of scoring as a rookie, exited college as so much more.
Tatum rode the same scoring wave as the others at the tumultuous wing position last season; 34 points in 34 minutes became two points in 28 minutes two games later. That may not change in 2019-20 with Kemba Walker and the wings loaded again.
