Should Boston’s Jayson Tatum be considered an early MVP candidate?

Superstar Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is among the handful of players in the NBA in the mix for the 2022-23 season’s scoring title and has been a huge part of his team’s success in the early going of the season so far, even winning Player of the Week honors for the Eastern Conference to start out his campaign. Clearly a top ten player in the league, the St. Louis native could very well find himself among the early candidates of the NBA’s 2023 Kia Most Valuable Player award if his high-level play continues.

Is Tatum playing at an elite level to a degree worthy of being considered an MVP candidate this season? Or do we need to see more from the Duke alum for him to match the starts of players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ja Morant, and Luka Doncic?

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what the hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast had to say about a Taco Jay MVP bid.
