Can Boston Celtics assistant coach Sam Cassell help Jayson Tatum win the NBA’s 2024 MVP?

Can new Boston Celtics assistant coach Sam Cassell help All-NBA Boston forward Jayson Tatum win the NBA’s 2024 Most Valuable Player award? Cassell’s addition to the Celtics coaching staff has sparked discussions about how he can benefit the St. Louis native’s game, and rightfully so given Cassell’s considerable pedigree as both an assistant and as a player, having won multiple titles in the latter capacity including one with Boston in 2008.

Tatum can benefit from Cassell’s expertise in mid-post play and playmaking, as well as his considerable leadership experience accrued over his years in the league on both sides of the clipboard, and from the swagger he carried himself with as a player just as the Duke alum is poised to be a top MVP candidate on his own.

The hosts of the “True Hoop TV” podcast Jarod Hector and David Thorpe recently sat down to discuss the potential impact Cassell could have on Tatum’s MVP odds on a recent episode.

Check out the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
