Jayson Tatum addressing his shot while continuing to make an all-around impact and helping lead the Celtics through the upcoming campaign will go a long way for Boston's title pursuit and Tatum's push to become MVP.
Jayson Tatum said entering training camp that he adjusted the form of his jump shot. It was a focus through offseason work with trainer Drew Hanlen after the perennial All-NBA forward didn’t shoot up to his standard in the Celtics' championship run.
“After every season you look back and reflect on things that you can get better at,” said Tatum of his refined shooting mechanics. “I shot 38 percent from three last year, I shot 8.5 threes a game. Just in the playoffs, I didn't shoot from the three as well as I would've liked.” Tatum put up an incredible 31-point, 11-assist, and eight-rebound performance in Game 5 to help Boston reach the NBA summit. He also had a significant impact defensively, including neutralizing the Mavericks' centers as lob threats.
