16.1 pts
11.5 rebs
2.3 stls
1.4 blks

Needs a bit of work on offense. Bad TS% at .528 but manages a 20% usage. Not a great shooter at 36% on low volume this year, but it’s not nothing. He can drive the ball and rarely turns it over, but won’t pass much. Has no midrange game.

Best On-Off for Houston this year and last, but has missed about half their games this season.

I’m skeptical Houston is looking too trade him, but they’ve got a bunch of talented wings right now.

I like his game. He is playing hellacious defense this year and is an excellent rebounder, and at 22 still has some room to grow on the offensive end, could have some stretch 4 capabilities. Not sure what the price would be for him but he looks to me like he’s going to be a really good role player in the league.

We traded the pick to OKC. It looks like we’re going full hustlebunny. I should be in the front office.

He used to writ here and I’ve seen an occasional article from him, but “covet” is kind of a strong word to use unless he has moved up the ladder.

The New York Knicks reportedly “covet” Tari Eason, according to David Vertsberger of SNY.

Weren’t we in a position to draft Eason? I remember many people here wanted him.
