Boston Celtics: BR leaves Tatum out of Top 10 player resumes

Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale left Boston Celtics star, Jayson Tatum, out of his top 10 player resumes in his latest piece.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum was left out of Bleacher Report’s list for the top 10 resumes in the NBA. Dan Favale explained his rationale for his selections, which included two stars who missed most of, if not the entire season, in Steph Curry and Kevin Durant:

"Because this process is more macro, though, I’ve allowed for some new entries. Anyone who didn’t play enough to make the 2019-20 cut (Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant) or saw his standing significantly impacted by availability (Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kyrie Irving) was eligible to jump into the top 10.After much consideration, Curry and Durant received the nods. They join, in alphabetical order: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic, James Harden, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Kawhi Leonard and Damian Lillard. For what it’s worth, Embiid was the toughest exclusion. Bumping anyone else just feels wrong."

It was undoubtedly difficult to cut this list down, but Tatum’s resume is being severely underrated here. While he hasn’t had a singular season as dominant as Luka Doncic has either of the last two years, the Slovenian second-year man has yet to win a playoff series.

Who on this list has a more impressive playoff run than Tatum’s rookie year run in 2018? Granted, Jaylen Brown and Terry Rozier were also breakouts that year, perhaps dulling the shine of Tatum’s individual greatness just a bit.

Either way, Tatum’s resume is likely to grow and make it even more difficult–if not impossible–to exclude the next time a list like this is compiled as he continues to engineer a currently 5-0 postseason push.

What do you think Boston Celtics fans? Do you think Tatum has done enough to have what should be considered a top 10 NBA resume?
