Jayson Tatum Says Celtics Weren't His First Choice
5 years agoBoston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum said that he originally didn't want the organization to draft him. Instead, Tatum wanted the Phoenix Suns to take him during the 2017 NBA Draft. He mentioned that it worked out in the end, but he didn't feel like there would be enough shots for him in Boston. Tatum was averaging 27.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks during his last 23 games before the league went on hiatus. It appears that Tatum is finally reaching his full potential and could be a first round pick in standard drafts next season.
