Jayson Tatum is on track to become a Boston Celtics legend. He's already proven himself to be a top-five or top-seven player in the NBA and helped lead the franchise to its first championship in 16 years. At just 26 years old, Tatum's resume is bound to keep growing, with a spot among the greats firmly up for grabs.

Jayson Tatum scored 26 of his 28 points in the first half, and the Boston Celtics routed the Atlanta Hawks 123-93 on Monday night for their third straight win.

Before Tatum was selected with the No. 3 pick in the 2017 NBA draft, many expected the Celtics, who initially had the No. 1 pick, to go with Washington Huskies guard Markelle Fultz. However, Boston elected to trade back two spots to grab the Duke product, allowing the Philadelphia 76ers to get Fultz.
