Most Decorated: Jayson Tatum (SF, Duke)
Jayson Tatum is the perfect prospect to play for Coach K. He isn’t flashy or anything. Still, he does all that is necessary to help the team win. In other words, he plays the game the right way. This is probably why NBADraft.net, compares him to a young Shane Battier.
"A high level athlete, but not a jump out of the gym freak…Good size, length, and fluidity for a wing. Uses size and length to shoot over defenders. Good half-court offensive game … Can score and distribute out of the high post"
He’s definitely not the most athletic or gifted prospect out there but he knows how to position himself for rebounds and do what he has to do to be an effective defender.
Question: Why Most Decorated? Tatum will most likely be part of a Duke Championship this year. It has not been an easy road for them. Yet, they have peaked at the right time and are currently playing their best basketball. Tatum may win a National Title on April. He may also be named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
