Jayson Tatum: A Basketball Superstar

By Clayton Carter

For the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum is a player right now.

In St. Louis, Missouri, he was born on March 3, 1998. His height and weight are both given as 6' 8".

Tatum attended Chaminade College Preparatory School (MO) during his senior year of high school and was honored as the 2016 Gatorade Player of the Year there. Tatum eventually found a home at Duke University and enrolled there as one of the most sought-after prospects in the nation.

He studied under Mike Krzyzewski for one year at Duke before being selected third overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.

Tatum has quietly developed into one of the league's most talented scorers as a result of the steady development of his game over the course of his career, which has already earned him spots in two NBA all-star games.

Tatum is the only member of the 2017 draft class who was selected in the top 10 picks who has gone on to make an all-star game as of right now. Before dealing it to the Philadelphia 76ers, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge owned the first overall pick in the draft. Markelle Fultz, who is no longer on the club, ultimately chose Philadelphia, while Jayson Tatum, the Celtics' third-round pick, chose them. It was unquestionably the proper choice to make the move, which has greatly benefited the Celtics organization.
