NBA: Way-too-early Eastern Conference All-Star predictions

9. Jayson Tatum – Boston Celtics

This one I’m a little unsure of.

By his own standards, Jayson Tatum isn’t having the season he should be. He’s only shooting 41.4% from the field after 27 games and connecting on just 32.7% of his 3’s whilst his Celtics are 13-14.

He is still averaging 25.6 PPG and 8.7 RPG, and he is playing in the most storied franchise in the East. All-Stars are partially selected by the fans, so if your team has a lot of support your chances of getting in increase significantly.

Tatum has also started to turn things around efficiency-wise. He’s shot 48.1% from the field and 37.0% from 3 over the past six games. If he continues this going forward there’s no doubt he’s an All-Star.
