Superstar comparisons for the NBA's young guns

#2 Jayson Tatum - Tracy McGrady

Tatum (L) and Tracy McGrady (R)

While this might seem like a comparison straight out of the left field at first, Tatum's relatively lower athleticism in comparison to a prime T-Mac does not take away from the rest of the resemblances the two of them share.

Tatum is a player cut from the same cloth as Kobe and T-Mac, the two greatest scorers of the noughties. Like the aforementioned duo, Tatum has a truly well-rounded midrange scoring game, complete with their fadeaway jump shots. Slick and tight handles that allow him to get to his spot and elevate over most perimeter defenders, and he is one of the best cutters in the Celtics squad already.

As a spot-up shooter, he's already shaping up as one of the league's best after finishing #8 in 3-point shooting percentage, the same kind of off-ball threat as T-Mac could be. If he continues to play and improve in the same fashion, like Donovan Mitchell, he could be a generational player.
