Jayson Tatum is heading into the new NBA season with a point to prove. The Boston Celtics star endured a difficult summer with Team USA, including being benched for two games against Serbia. As such, it’s fair to expect a dominant season from the St. Louis native, who will undoubtedly have his sights set on defending Boston’s NBA championship.
In recent years, Tatum has become an all-around talent. His style of play impacts games on multiple levels, making him one of the toughest covers in the league. According to Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, that diverse skill set could help Tatum finally secure an MVP award.

As such, Tatum should have a realistic shot at winning his first MVP award while also contending for his second NBA championship and fourth consecutive All-NBA First Team selection. It could be a big year for number zero.
