Star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum‘s dominance in the 2023-24 NBA season so far is evident through four key numbers. Firstly, the Celtics have a huge net rating boost when Tatum is on the court, underscoring his impact on the team’s play.
Another is the fact that Tatum’s 3-point shooting has improved, with a shooting percentage of 39.8% from beyond the arc. This is significant because 41% of his shots this season have come from 3-point range. Tatum’s ability to knock down shots from deep adds another dimension to his game and makes him even more difficult to defend than he already is.
His presence on the court significantly improves the team’s net rating, and his ability to finish at the rim and shoot from deep makes him a versatile offensive threat.
On a recent episode of his “Forsberg’s Four,” NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg laid out all four of those indicators as signs of his improved play. Check it out above!
