I have questions about Jaylen, but he’s not an isolation scorer. Only did it 7.1% of the time last year, well below guys like Holiday, Brogdon, Bam, even below players like LaMelo. He’s not good when he does it either, been atrocious the last two years when going iso.
Tatum does it a bunch (18% this past season, 15.7% two seasons ago). Was only in the 42nd percentile this past season as an iso scorer. He does have somewhat of a track record of being good in iso situations though, two seasons ago he was in the 75th percentile, and this past short playoff run, he was in the 95th percentile, on HUGE volume (39% of the time).
I’d like to see Jaylen stay around the 7%, and Tatum back down to 15/16%.
They need to find a way to create offense when Tatum isn’t in the game.They had an offensive rating of 114.8 when Tatum was in games last year, and 105.9 when he sat. A swing of 8.9 is crazy, no other rotation player had a swing of even half of that.
