Atlanta Hawks redrafting 2017 top 10) Jayson Tatum moves up one spot to No. 2

In just four short seasons, Jayson Tatum has established himself as a bona fide star in the league. The Boston Celtics are building around Tatum and Jaylen Brown who they drafted the following season. Together they form an incredible one-two punch for the franchise.

Last season Tatum averaged 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.2 steals in 35.8 minutes per game. These numbers are incredibly impressive particularly as he has produced at this level for the past two seasons and has been a major reason the Celtics have been in the playoffs for the past fours seasons.

Tatum is so close to being a complete player, especially on offense. He shot 38.6 percent on his 7.6 attempts from beyond the arc last season. On top of that, he hit 45.9 percent of his 20.6 field goal attempts. Fouling Tatum gave the opposition no relief either, he went 86.8 percent on his 5.3 attempts from the line.

Tatum is going to get even better the longer that he plays in the league. He is turning the ball over more than he ever has in his career but his usage rate is also higher than it has ever been.
