Tatum can get easy buckets in these type of schemes. I prefer this kind of action over him dribbling the ball over the timeline, setting the offense with five defenders staring at him in help position. When JT gets easy points in transition and off action where others set him up is when he really piles up the point totals. In a recent game against the Pistons, his outside shot wasn’t falling early, but he was 8-9 inside the paint before he made a barrage of long jumpers in the second half to help salt away that game.
Tatum catching the ball at the FT line, either on the move, or with a defender sealed off, is quite a problem to a defense.
