With a dozen games in the books, some early-season anomalies are turning into trends worth watching as the season continues to unfold. Yahoo Sports takes a look at the players and teams who have surprised, or played exactly to expectations so far.
It’s not that Tatum is close to 50-40-90 territory; well he’s actually close to it with 50-38-87, but he’s playing like a complete player — the lapses in defensive focus are less and less, if at all. He knows he has the offensive advantage in every situation he’s in, but doesn’t feel the need to exploit it by taking those step-back jumpers.
Tatum is by far the superior defensive player and he’s performed with enough consistency over the last calendar year that this feels sustainable. This feels like the Tatum we’ll see from this point on and all that goofy talk about “Finals loss motivates star” actually feels validated. Miami swarmed Young in the first round last season, and they all agreed one more creator was necessary. The relationship between Young and Murray existed before the trade, both being Klutch Sports clients, so it seemed like an easy deal to make.
Young pointed out playing with Michael Porter Jr. in his prep days as proof he knew how to play without the ball, and he’s having to go back to that nowadays.
