    The draft night knock on Tari is he can’t remember offensive plays. If the coach is not coaching then he will shine. Milk hair would have loved this guy. (clap, clap, clap)

    Maybe the new coach will run some read and react offense so #17 can stay positive with the coaching staff. OR he is limited to a 6th man role & on the bench to close tight games. This type of role as LSU’s 6th man got him here. I am all about play with what you have, and make them the best them. (Yes teach to development but don’t force, it has to be natural for it to be natural). Eason maybe best spark ever off the bench and that is okay.

    Listen...LOL I love Tari

    But if you are getting like 12 offensive rebounds and most of them are off your own misses, you are not smooth.

    Doesn't matter, he never gives up, love it!

    Alpi, Tari, KMJ are my favourite players!

    It's an elite skill that he could build upon.

    Arguably better than master of none.

    I do not think the Smoove nickname applies to Eason. He's mean as hell and rugged. He's also got a strength/length/quickness combination that can just dominate wing players. Great team player -- could be an absolute beast defensively for a long time.

    Definitely not smooth. He's rugged and wild. We just have to hope that it breaks in a favorable way.

    Eason is an RKG.
    Needs to defensive rebound and limit his drives to the rim a bit more. It would behoove him to focus a bit more on little moves around the perimeter to create space for spot up threes.

    I think there is also a bigger ceiling there than what we assume is his high level role player destiny. Develop off hand and a dependable move or twi and he can be your 3rd guy.

    If the Rox can develop this kid, I think he can become better than OG. His defensive metrics in college were elite.. That usually translates well to the NBA. He has tremendous upside. No way am I including him any trade talks. I don't care how many lay ups he misses lol. Tari is a keeper.

    Exactly especially On a team where your socall best players and head honchos don’t play with the best effort throughout the game. I really hope Green and KPj are doin more then being the beneficiary of front row seats during this ou

    That has nothing to do with being smooth on the court though haha. If Tari is smooth than KD is like spherical LOL.

    Begs the question, of course, why Silas didn't give him more minutes, although he was beasting.

    Silas being Silas.

    Tari is the next player Silas will be oblivious to how good he is. Instead he'll play EG at the 3 even though we can't even get a 1st rd pick for him anymore.
