Where does Jayson Tatum rank among the NBA’s elite?

After a bit of letdown from MVP expectations, is he still a top player in the league?

At the start of the Boston Celtics’ 2023-24 campaign, star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was projected to be among the top candidates to win the league’s 2024 Most Valuable Player award, but has since fallen out of the top five. Does this reflect on his standing in the league’s hierarchy, or are we still considering the St. Louis native a top 10 player?

Not everyone thinks he is still among the NBA’s elite after a not-quite elite season to date. Among them are “What’s Wright” podcast host Nick Wright, who laid out what he really thinks of the Duke alum on a recent episode of the eponymous “Colin Cowherd” podcast.

Cowherd of course weighs in on the debate as well.

To hear what they had to say about Tatum’s place in the NBA at the three-fourths point of the season, check out the clip embedded above.
