Boston Celtics fans aren’t the only ones who believe Jayson Tatum has played at an All-Star level this season.
Tatum racked up a career-high 39 points to go along with 12 rebounds and two assists Sunday night in his team’s blowout win over the Charlotte Hornets. The performance left a positive impression on many, including NBA guard Nick Young, otherwise known as “Swaggy P.”

So, is Tatum an All-Star?
The third-year forward is averaging 21.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists through 27 games. The numbers speak for themselves, but the fact that Tatum is excelling for a Celtics that is second in the Eastern Conference should help his case, as well.
