Is star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum underrated among NBA stars? This was a questioned that was recently posed by the semi- eponymous host of "Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf," focusing on the St. Louis native and his standing in the league ahead of his first campaign fully alone as a leader of the Celtics.
