Ahead of a critical season for the Boston Celtics, how confident are we in the leadership role of Jayson Tatum within the team? Tatum recently acknowledged that he won’t emulate the loud leadership style of past players like Kevin Garnett but also argued that he leads in his own way.
With the departure of veteran point guard Marcus Smart, there’s a void in vocal leadership on the team. Can Tatum step into that role, even if it’s less overt? The importance of on-court leadership suggests that Tatum’s play and his ability to create runs are as crucial as his locker-room presence. The challenge of finding the right balance between vocal leadership and lead-by-example players on the team may be a key part of the formula Boston needs to win a banner.
