Is star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum underrated among NBA stars? This was a questioned that was recently posed by the semi- eponymous host of "Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf," focusing on the St. Louis native and his standing in the league ahead of his first campaign fully alone as a leader of the Celtics.
Some assessments of the team see Boston getting worse despite effectively swapping Tatum for Jaylen Brown after the latter was dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George and draft picks while adding Mike Conley and Mitchell Robinson. Does this hint at a note of disrespect for the Duke alum as the leader of a team?
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about the assessment of Tatum in the NBA media sphere,
