Tatum and the inevitable minutes vacuum

Sooner or later Tatum will be back, and the minutes distribution will have to change

Sooner or later, Jayson Tatum is going to be back in the rotation. We know it’s coming.

It could be later this week.

Maybe next week.

Perhaps closer to the end of the month.

Or, it could be at the start of next season.

No matter how you slice it, Tatum will be back in the rotation at some point. And for some of the younger talents on the roster, it could mean reduced minutes or being taken out of the day-to-day rotation entirely.

With that in mind, let’s look at who is probably going to be safe, who is at risk, and who deserves to keep their spot.
