He does look broader though. Over the last month of the season he was drawing fouls like nobody’s business - expect more of it
That’s the next big step we need from him. If he can get to the line 8 or so times per game he’ll be unstoppable.
Indeed. From April onward he was averaging 7 FTAs, and in the playoffs he averaged 10 FTAs. It was as if something clicked. Hopefully it continues - I have faith that it will. Pressuring teams with foul trouble and getting easy points will make life easier for him.
If he can solidly average 7 FTA's per game I'd be really, really happy. Only 5 players averaged 8 or more FTA's last season (Embiid, Giannis, Zion, Trae, and Jimmy). With the exception of Trae, those guys operate in the paint mostly. I don't know if we have the shooting for Tatum to do that.
