Jayson Tatum Olympic Update

As Team USA’s Paris debut is only four days away

Jayson Tatum of course is in Paris with Team USA, waiting to take on the world in the Olympic basketball tournament.

Basketball starts for the US on Sunday with Serbia. The Serbian team features the very dangerous Bogdan Bogdanović, currently with the Atlanta Hawks, Vasilije Micić, a Charlotte Hornet, Nikola Jović and most lethal of all, Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets, a force multiplier extraordinaire.

How’s that for an opener?

Then Tatum and company get a quick rematch with South Sudan which should be extremely interesting after the friendly in London.

Here are some more links, including some interesting discussion with Tatum and Olympic teammate Joel Embiid among other things.
