Before he was a Boston Celtic, a baby-faced Jayson Tatum wowed fans at Peach Jam

Tatum was an absolute killer even back then.

Though now a star for the Boston Celtics and one of the top players in the world, it was not all that long ago that Jayson Tatum was relatively unknown to those of us not obsessed with NBA draft prospects or paid to analyze them. In fact, it was in 2015 that the future Boston star emerged onto the national scene with a dramatic comeback win over future college teammate Harry Giles III’s CP3 squad in the Peach Jam semifinals.

After that victory, the St. Louis native declared for Duke where he’d team with Giles, averaging 24.1 points, 7.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game in the process.

Check out a clip of baby-faced Jayson Tatum being an absolute killer even back then while we wait for the NBA season to arrive.
