Its not just the shooting - he has at times struggled with understanding where to be offensively to maximize spacing. He has definitely improved but the freelance thing he does as a defender with his incredible defensive instincts - that doesn't work the same way on the offensive side where his instincts aren't as great, his handles and decision making aren't as polished, and his shooting is inconsistent. If he can fit into the system offensively(at least for now) and then BE the system(with Amen), defensively - I think that works but the pay scale for a "three and d" player is a lot different from a defensive player of his skills who also has a more direct role in creating offense. I think the problem here is his camp has been saying from the get go that Tari has much more offensive skills to showcase and his on the court play has shown glimpses but not necessarily enough to change his offensive role as a 3 and d player. THAT is really the crux of the issue here - his camp sees a higher ceiling to his offensive game than what the team sees and that misalignment is the difference between MLE money and the extra coin that Jabari got being a high level defensive players but also a deadly 3pt shooter with gravity. Tari has no such gravity.
lol my bad quoted the wrong post lmao. Was intended for Codman’s post, referring to him not being too high on Tari Eason.
