Celtics Ink Jayson Tatum to Five-Year Max Extension

Jayson Tatum will be seeing green in addition to wearing it. The budding superstar signed a five-year, maximum extension with the Celtics on Sunday, reports ESPN.

Tatum, 22, averaged 23.4 points, seven rebounds and three assists per game last season. The deal is worth $163 million guaranteed, though it can escalate to around $195 million if Tatum meets All-NBA criteria. Boston originally selected Tatum with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft. Let’s grade the deal.
