Jason Tatum

Just a reminder that two seasons ago Jayson Tatum became the ninth rookie in Celtics history to score 1,000 or more points.

He joined pretty illustrious company. The first five guys are Hall of Famers. Radja's careen was cut short by injury; Walker was a 3-time All-Star who scored over 15,000 points in his career and Ron Mercer had an 8-year NBA career. If Tatum just averages the careers of the 8 other guys on the list the chances are high that he too will be a Hall of Famer. And the way he's played this season he seems well on his way. Nice pick by Danny Ainge.
2017-18 Jayson Tatum
1997-98 Ron Mercer
1996-97 Antoine Walker
1993-94 Dino Radja
1979-80 Larry Bird (Hall of Famer)
1970-71 Dave Cowens (Hall of Famer)
1962-63 John Havlicek (Hall of Famer)
1956-57 Tommy Heinsohn (Hall of Famer)
1950-51 Bob Cousy (Hall of Famer)
