Craig Luschenat - Jayson Tatum

Craig Luschenat: 

Jayson has shot 43% from three and 44% from 16 feet to the three-point line, after 76 career games so far. After calibrating all his miss fundamentals together against the rest of the NBA I can conclude that he is really between a 40%-42% three-point shooter. His miss fundamental totals were most comparable to Kevin Durant.

To this point of his career, Jayson has done a great job of shooting the ball and I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t continue to be an elite shooter. Jayson has tremendous form, fundamentals, and release point on his shot delivery. He also is in the elite percentile for good misses and doesn’t commit any extra fundamental errors, which is a trait mostly all elite shooters share. Finally, he does an excellent job with his footwork on his shot; he is well into the elite percentile for this fundamental as well.

Jayson commits only one fundamental error in his shot delivery that he should address; so that he can continue to improve as a shooter. This is the fade/lean during his shot. He currently fade/leans on 37% of his misses, which is 12% over the elite shooters percentile of 25%. To be clear this is only on shots where he doesn’t need to fade/lean, for example this doesn’t include post-ups or shots where he isn’t trying to create separation. This fade/lean causes him to miss short more than Id like to see; he is 7% over the elite shooters percentile of 25%. If minimizes this error the sky is the limit for Jayson as a shooter.
