Where does Jayson Tatum rank among the NBA's best small forwards




 

By most accounts, superstar Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum is not only among the best players in the NBA at his position but among the very best players in the league overall. So one would assume that any assessment of small forwards in the Association at the moment would have the St. Louis native at the top of the list, or at least very close to it.

The minds behind the Basketball Reference YouTube channel are doing a midseason reassessment of all the top players in the NBA by position and recently put together their read on the state of the order of small forwards in the league at present.

Did they get the ranking of the former Duke standout correct compared to the rest of the superstars in the league playing at his position? Or do you take issue with this assessment?

Take a look at the clip embedded above to find out, and let us know in the comments below.
