    Tari doesn't have the frame to be an Artest, people forget that monster of a man weighed in at 260 at one point.

    But even if Eason doesn't bulk up and remains a wiry pest on defense, he has nearly the same measurements right now as Tayshaun Prince.

    If he bulks up to 230-235, and gets his shot down, then his ceiling is a halfway house between Prince and Artest. A force to be reckoned with.

    That would be good too. My gut feeling tells me that Tari might exceed Ron Artest if he keeps on improving his handle and jump shot.

    7-2 wingspan. Also Tari’s standing reach is 8-11.5 vs Kawhi 8-10.

    @Jontro thought we had drafted a pornstar. He must have hit no when he found out that it was a dude.

    Seriously, let's continue to publicly shame these guys until they change their vote to yes. Once we make history with the first 100% positive poll and clutch fans history, we shall send the screen capped results to Tari himself.

    I can’t believe his supposed low bball iq and his janky shot mechanics dropped him to us. What a freaking steal

    @Momster is quite the follow! I thought it was one of these 20 year old fanbois with the unframed basketball jerseys that finally developed a sense of humor. As it turns out, it's Tari's mother!
    Even the captain has a mother.

    Anyone else wondering if the "Tari's got low BB IQ" was a fake rumor planted by either the Rockets or Tari himself in order to ensure he was available at 17? Or that maybe Tari played dumb with the other teams during workouts because he wanted to come to Houston.

    Because other than the lone crazy pass inbounds after a Spurs missed shot, I'm not seeing (or hearing - based on his interviews) a dumb player. Not at all. Yesterday, Tari was a big part of the most exciting halves of basketball I've ever seen in Summer League.

    Tari is going to supplant Super Mario as best #17 in franchise history.

    So Tari really is the sane Ron Artest.
