Throughout the Celtics playoff run final spring, Jayson Tatum shot simply 28% from behind the arc. Taking part in for Group USA this summer time, Tatum didn’t make a jump shot at all during the Olympics.
I do know it’s only two preseason video games that we received’t keep in mind come subsequent month, however that is an encouraging begin.
His as soon as deadly pull-up has was a shot that makes me cringe each time he takes it.
Jayson Tatum turned a pull-up maestro this season. He shot 39.9 p.c on pull-up 3s and ranked within the 88th percentile off the dribble.

His passing and skill to get to the rim after which end have improved an excessive amount of for him to settle the best way he has during the last two years for what’s analytically a nasty shot.
Nonetheless, over the primary two preseason video games, Tatum has made his jumpers.
There’s a purpose individuals are speaking about Tatum’s bounce shot being again. He tweaked it with his trainer Drew Hanlen this summer, one thing he talked about after Sunday’s blowout win.
Am I going to overreact to 2 preseason video games by which Tatum shot 43% on threes and say the pull up 3 is again? Sure. Sure, I’m. It appears rather a lot smoother and may it stick, the Celtics can turn into much more harmful than they already had been.
