not worried about numbers so much as I want to see improvement in the following areas:
- ballhandling - losing the ball less when dribbling in traffic or the lane
- quickening the offense when he's the one bringing up the ball.  stop walking the ball up
- improved passing - got better as the season went but still has issues telegraphing passes when he drives to the hoop
- improved finishing on his drives.  get away from softly going up with the ball and go up strong with the ball and get more and-1's.
- get off to better starts in games.  fortunately Jaylen tends to get off to good starts while Jayson seems to need more time to get rolling.  would like to see both of them get off to good starts.

I predict Tatum gets a slight MPG reduction due to team dominance, has the most efficient season of his career, an uptick in assists, and be in the thick of the MVP race as the best player on a 60+ win team; plus another All NBA 1st team and All Star appearance.

His readiness to be the best player on a Championship team was still in question last season. Game 6 in Milwaukee erased that for me; he’ll improve on his weaknesses enough to entrench himself in the top 10 and lead the team to a title.
