JB has been the best Celtics player this postseason. Followed by D-White.
Interesting that Jaylen and Tatum had similar TS% in the first round against Miami despite Jaylen shooting so much better from the floor.
Jaylen = 52% FG% 32% 3PT% 56% TS%
Jaylen got 20 FTAs on 92 FGAs but made only 9 of them. So he got no boost from the FT line.
Tatum = 41.6% FG% 29% 3PT% 56% TS%
Tatum got 45 FTAs to only 77 FGAs which is exceptional. You'd like to see a player like Tatum in the high 20s percentage wise for FTr. Tatum was up at 58% FTs to FGs. He hit them 80%. So he got a massive scoring efficiency boost from the FT line.
Point being = Tatum not as inefficient as first appears with his scoring and Jaylen not as efficient as first appears.
Tatum rebounding better, defending better, passing better.
RPG = 10.4rpg to 7.2rpg
APG = 5.4apg to 2.2apg
D White is killing both these guys in shooting efficiency.
58% FG% 48% 3PT% 74.3% TS%
He is not getting to the FT line much but he is taking a huge volume of threes and hitting them a high clip. 44 threes on 71 shot attempts. So 57% of his shots are from 3. Getting a major boost there in overall scoring efficiency. A small additional boost with 9/10 FTA.
