The Boston Celtics’ hot start to the 2022-23 NBA season has been powered in no small part by the leap forward made by superstar forward Jayson Tatum, with the St. Louis native’s Most Valuable Player-caliber play contributing to a high rate of Celtics wins this season.
Some of that growth has come on the defensive end of the court, with Tatum morphing into one of the better players on that end of the court on the team. Some of it has been offensive growth with his stronger frame and higher motor translating into career-high scoring numbers for the Duke alumnus.
