Is Jayson Tatum READY For a Leadership Role?

The Big Three NBA Podcast crew breaks down Celtics Media Day and the biggest storylines heading into the new season. Gary Washburn and A. Sherrod Blakely discuss how Jayson Tatum’s leadership role must evolve now that Jaylen Brown is gone, what Paul George can bring as a veteran presence, and the overall mood surrounding Boston’s revamped roster. The guys also react to Mitchell Robinson’s first media availability as a Celtic, his personality, potential role and opportunity for a fresh start in Boston. Later, they examine Brad Stevens’ emphasis on versatility and “optionality,” the calculated risks behind the Celtics’ offseason changes, and how high the ceiling could be if everything clicks. Plus, they discuss the uncertainty surrounding Boston’s season, the development of the young players and what could make this year especially compelling. 0:00 Intro 2:45 Jayson Tatum’s New Leadership Role 11:25 Celtics Media Day Takeaways 17:11 Kalshi 18:31 Mitchell Robinson’s Celtics Fit 24:16 Brad Stevens, Optionality & Boston’s New Roster 31:30 Celtics Season Expectations & Young Players 35:30 Outro Celtics on CLNS Media is Powered by: Kalshi — On Kalshi, you’re trading against peers in a live market — meaning there’s no house.
