Another factor is that Tatum has wholeheartedly embraced stepping into the leadership vacuum left by the departure of Marcus Smart, which there isn’t really a stat for, but it’s his team now in a way it wasn’t before
That's a great point. I think his leadership style is very different, so maybe he doesn't get the credit. But you can see his playmaking has become a way of leading his guys, as has his improved help defense and how frequently he's attacking the interior. Big fan of his work this season, especially after all the changes during the summer.
