Jayson Tatum took over Saturday in a Workforce USA Olympic victory over the Czech Republic.
Kevin Durant thinks we will see much more of that.
Tatum has had a reasonably nondescript displaying within the exhibitions main as much as the Olympics in addition to in Tokyo itself. That resulted in him dropping his beginning job, however he bounced again in a giant approach Saturday with a 27-point displaying, with 15 factors coming off 3-pointers.
All of the whereas, Durant was breaking the Workforce USA scoring report. That is a formidable feat, however one he does not imagine will final.
A daring prediction to make sure, however actually one that would come to cross. Tatum solely is 23, so he very properly might need three — possibly 4 — extra Olympic appearances to his title by the point he calls it a profession.
Tatum, Durant and the remainder of Workforce USA now will head to the knockout spherical.
