The last 2 games he has went to the hole and got to the line a decent amount. 11 tonight and had a few key moments last game taking to the hole and getting fouled. He's starting to look PP like the way he gets to the line. Hope he keeps it up. 9/11 tonight is amazing for a 19 year old.

he's really good at shielding the ball from defenders and he also uses his length extremely well around the rim, stretching his arm/s out far away from the rim for the layup. causes a lot of reach-ins and swipes on the arm.
dude has the full arsenal. he's going to be a big big scorer on this team by the end of the season.

He’s just the greatest of all time.
Now just imagine how easily he'll get to the line when his 3 drops in a game AND he's that aggressive. SCARY
I know he will be elite over the next 10+ years barring injury because of his ability to draw his own shooting fouls. The greats have the ability to get easy points and Tatum has shown that so much already. I'll look at the box score thinking he barely played and there's his 15/8.
He can pump fake defenders into leaving their feet and also has no fear driving the lane which makes defending him very tough. Jaylen will get there as his shot improves but he mostly relies on bullying his way to the basket to draw a foul so it's not nearly as consistent.
They are giving him the green light to attack the basket more and it's pretty clear he can get a bucket or get to the line almost at will. The most impressive thing was that despite attacking the basket more, he had 0 turnovers in 40 minutes.
I still fully expect the kid to be our #2 option by all-star break. Too skilled not to be.
