Tatum's increased load has resulted in decreased efficiency. He's a good player, but he's just not hitting shots. He's still not strong enough to stay in control on drives nor savvy or athletic enough to create consistent FT opportunities. I just don't know if he can improve enough this season at his young age to become the player they need him to be. I would like him to pick his spots better and become more efficient, but he seems intent on chucking it and playing the part of an elite scorer when he doesn't have the ability yet. There's no reason he should be shooting 41% on a team with so much talent. It's not like he's the only scorer on a bad team.
So far this season he's 17th in the league in FGA/G at 17.2, but has the lowest FG% of those players until you get to Kristaps Porzingis at #36 with .398. Basically, he has one of the worst percentages in the league for a high volume player.
