Live Bar, November 21st news recently, smart accepted an interview with Green reporter Bobby Manning, during which he talked about Tatum’s progress on the defensive side.
“When I first entered the league, Tatum couldn’t hear what you said to him at all. He thought he knew everything. He felt that he would not have too many defensive tasks. At that time, he was only eighteen or nine years old and not strong. But now he is different. No matter in attack or defense, he embraces every confrontation. I like his current mentality. He gave us a player who could score 40 points and was willing to defend, which made us stronger.” Said Smart.
This season, Tatum averaged 30.3 points, 7.4 boards, 4.5 help.
