St. Louis natives Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards and Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics were seen taking part on one-on-one battles with Oklahoma City Thunder new addition Chris Paul as part of NBA trainer Drew Hanlen's offseason workouts.

Beal and Tatum had some intense one-on-one knocks, making the most of their talents in isolation, but it was the young gun who had the best move of this clip.

Right at the 19-second mark, Tatum puts Paul on a spin cycle, dusting him on his way to a right-handed layup and leaving his ankles in the trash can with a devastating change of direction.

The editing does make this move easy to forget, as the very next shot features Paul doing some spin magic of his own, nailing a fadeaway jumper over Beal.

Paul and Beal have already etched their place in the league as some of the best isolation scorers, but it's Tatum who stands to gain the most from these workouts, as he will play a large part in Boston's offense this upcoming season and likely thrust into helping his new teammate Kemba Walker get comfortable within the offense.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens is known to prefer plenty of ball-movement, but Tatum will have his chance to show off his scoring chops in times of crisis, as it never hurts to have a capable ball-handler and scorer at hand when it counts the most.

By the looks of these few clips, it seems Tatum will be breaking his share of ankles this upcoming season.
