    I tend to gravitate towards the best 2 way players so I'm a huge Tari Eason fan.

    Eason is not just a good defender, he is ELITE.




    Ever since @sydmill put him on my radar I've watched every one of his games at LSU.

    Problem is that he is no longer a secret and keeps rising in this draft.

    Eason is a lottery pick now, likely ends up in top 10.

    Not bad for a 6th man.

    So unless Rockets trade up from #17, then Eason is out of our reach.

    So my plan B is Chet and Mark Williams.

    Then trade EGo/Tate + Bucks FRP for Jalen Johnson.

    Jalen Johnson would fill some of the Tari Eason role.

    It’s funny because when I watch him I see a lot of Roco and Thybulle, if he can develop a 3 like Roco he would be great addition

    @everyone

    would you rather have Mobley and Sharpe

    or Holmgren and Green?

    That’s easy imo. And I liked Mobley.
    Green has shown superstar flashes in the pros already. Chet is a similar prospect to Mobley with a little more offensive upside.
    Green/Chet and Alp is a young potential big 3 that all play unselfish ball and have huge potential

    Love the wingspan but do not love his lack of physicality.

    Gaslighter.

    Tari shooting 36% 3P and .803 FT%.

    His 3ball is solid.

    Watching his highlights, he seems like a slightly bigger KPJ

    Yeah I know the numbers, if that translates to pros he could be the real deal. Uber role player with potential to be more. Iguodala type player

    He would be a great “get” by the Rockets. @Clutch is very high on Eason. I hope we manage to pull off moving up. Sharpe pushes him down a pick, which doesn’t hurt, but may not be enough.

    Chet is not just a shot blocker.

    His DRTG is a ridiculous 78.7 - no other player comes close to this.

    His ORTG is just as impressive 127.0.

    There is no comparison - with wings OR bigs.

    Iggy was a 2 way franchise player for Pistons and multiple All Star before signing with GSW.

    I'll take that type of production all day.

    Or a bigger Jalen Green.

    Plays more like a pure scorer.

    His playmaking is still rudimentary imo.

    And not loving his defense.

    Your takes are simplistic to the extreme.

    Is it not true that Curry, Durant, Thompson were skinnier than Paul, harden, Gordon etc?

    even Steve Kerr said that going against Houston was like trying to beat linebackers with volleyball players
