Before he was a Boston Celtic, a baby-faced Jayson Tatum wowed fans at Peach Jam

Now a star player for the Boston Celtics and one of the top players in the world as a bonafide superstar in the NBA, it was not all that long ago that Jayson Tatum was relatively unknown to those of us not obsessed with NBA draft prospects or paid to analyze them. In fact, it was in 2015 that the future Boston star would truly break onto the national scene with a dramatic comeback win over future college teammate Harry Giles III’s CP3 squad in the Peach Jam semis.

After that victory, the St. Louis native would declare for Duke where he’d later team up with Giles, averaging 24.1 points, 7.9 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game in the process.

Check out a clip of baby-faced Jayson Tatum being an absolute killer even back then while we wait for the next NBA season to arrive.
