As the Celtics prepare for a new season, Jayson Tatum is setting high goals for where he wants to be as both an individual and team player.
“I just got to be better. I have to elevate my level from being one of the top 10 to 15 players to a top-5 player,” Tatum told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated in a recent interview. “I have to try to make everyone else around me better.”
Having just spent part of his offseason helping Team USA win a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Tatum returns to Boston after experiencing an extremely competitive environment among some of the NBA’s best.
