PATTERNS

Very consistent. Tatum posts positive impact in 94% of games — you almost always get a productive night. Scoring varies by ~5 points, but the overall contribution stays positive.

Streaky shooter — only cracks 45% from the field in 35% of games. Efficiency is all over the place night-to-night.

Defensive difference-maker. Tatum consistently forces tough shots and protects the rim — opponents shoot worse when he's guarding them.

Getting better as the season goes on. First-half impact: +10.4, second-half: +13.9. That's a significant jump — could be a role change, confidence, or development clicking.

Hot right now — 9 straight games with positive impact. Longest positive run this season: 9 games.
