Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum ranked among Ringer’s top-25 players in NBA

The Boston star is rightfully recognized again this season among the league’s elite.

The Boston Celtics have one of the top 25 players in the NBA in the estimation of a panel of Ringer analysts who recently published an article on the topic, but it might irk Celtics fans a bit to see where the St. Louis native is ranked among those 25 stars.

The panel, comprised of writers Dan Devine, J. Kyle Mann, Rob Mahoney, and Kevin O’Connor with some input from stats guru Zach Kram, left it to the individual staff writers to interpret what “best” means, with the composite ranking of the four determining the overall order of the final list.

On that list, Tatum was ranked the 17th-best player in the league for this season.
