Lack of offensive threats around Tatum has hurt his 3 point %. In prior years he was surrounded by more offensive threats, including Kemba when he was healthy, and Hayward.

So I agree its weird, but its not baseless.hahhaaaaa.... this part i agree IS weird!

Kemba Walker and Gordon Hayward demanded a bit more attention than Marcus Smart & the ghost of Al Horford
According to NBA.com, Tatum entered Wednesday 78 for 240 (32.5 percent) on 3-pointers where a defender is not within 4 feet. He was 40 percent in those situations last season, including 52.4 when a defender wasn’t within 6 feet. He’s shooting 34.2 in that situation this season.
or, what if he got back to his career averages from deep?Tatum's "superhero skill" has long been his ability to hit "bad" shots, i.e. long twos, mid-range fades, and step-back / pull-up threes, at an above average rate.
If anyone saw the stat last night during the game Tatum is among the lead leaders in two point FG% shooting around 63% on twos.

Going into tonight’s game, Jayson is 306/612 on the season, or exactly 50%, on two-pointers. Grant Williams is shooting .629 on twos... maybe that’s what you saw.
Ah yes, let's make a great shooter stop shooting. Fantastic logic.
