blue girl inter...Tatum was the 3x Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year, the most times that a high school player (in any state) has won that award since it was initiated in 1986. That consistent on-court dominance at Chaminade pushed Tatum to be one of the elite high-school players in the country as he averaged 26.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game during his senior season, while also being named as the 2016 Gatorade Player of the Year..
Tatum was a beast in high school, particularly in his senior year, when he averaged 29.6 points and 9 rebounds per game. He recorded six, 40 point games that season, and led Charminade to a Missouri state championship. He was also named the Gatorade National Player of the Year, which honors athletic excellence, academic achievement, and exemplary character; definitely an award that would make his mama proud. He would also make the McDonald's All-American team in 2016, where he led all scorers on his team with 18 points
