Jayson Tatum Shows Why C’s Drafted him in Summer League Win
Jayson Tatum balled out in his Celtics debut against Markelle Fultz and the Sixers in the Utah Summer League.
The Celtics’ summer league squad took down the Sixers Monday night by a score of 89-88. It was the first time fans could get a glimpse of their team’s newest draft picks, and Boston’s game against Philadelphia held a little more weight than most summer games would.
A week before the draft in June, the Celtics traded the first pick to the Sixers so that they could select Markelle Fultz. This was a heavily criticized move on Boston’s part, since they seemed to be the only team not completely sold on Fultz.
