On this day in 2017, Boston Celtics All-Star shooting guard Jayson Tatum was signed to the team for a rookie scale, four-year, $30,073,320 contract.
Tatum was drafted by the Celtics with the third overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, acquired by team president Danny Ainge by trading back from the first overall pick of the draft with the Philadelphia 76ers in one of the better trades of his career.
A product of the Duke Blue Devils, Tatum has since played two full seasons with Boston and nearly so his third, in which he won his first election to an All-Star game.
He has averaged 17.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists over his career with the Celtics.
