Boston Celtics All-Star small forward Jayson Tatum is on the brink of superstardom. A number of analysts believe his nascent ability to get downhill and draw fouls while attacking the basket is a key element to unlocking his full potential.
To that end, the St. Louis native has been working on precisely that part of his game with famed trainer Drew Hanlen while bulking up his musculature in the process. If Tatum adds this element to his game with consistency, he will be almost unstoppable, but the question remains whether the former Duke standout will actually add this to his game.
The hosts of the CLNS Media podcast “Boston Sports Beat” John Zannis and A. Sherrod Blakeley dived into this particular question on a recent episode, and what it could mean for the Celtics fortunes more generally if he does.
Watch the video clip embedded above to hear what these two have to say about Tatum’s downhill potential in 2021-22 and how it can help Boston take the next step.
