Whenever people are ready to have the MVP conversation, RohanNadkarni says Jayson Tatum’s name has to be near or at the top of every list
, Tatum responded against L.A. with 44 points on 15-of-29 shooting, with nine boards and six assists for good measure. Tatum is now averaging a 30/8/4 on the season, shooting 47% from the field and 36.2% on 9.3 threes a night. He is a one-man offensive force. And his game-tying shot over James to send the game into overtime is an indicator of how difficult he is to guard one–on–one.
Tatum has a case to be the most complete offensive player in the league right now considering the variety of ways he can puncture a defense. His outside shot is deadly. He can finish against anyone at the rim. He can go get a contested bucket in big moments. I know MVP discourse can get poisoned very quickly, and if often starts way too early. Whenever people are ready to have the conversation, Tatum’s name has to be near or at the top of every list.
