    Stone better not be teasing my ass!

    Chet and Tari would shut down all my Stone slander.

    Hell, just adding Tari might be enough to shut me the hell up ... maybe. :D

    A criticism of Eason is that he's very right hand dominant. That seems like a pretty minor and correctable issue. If Jeremy Lin improved his proficiency with his off hand I'm sure Eason can too. And that right hand dominance does not hamper his defensive abilities.

    Does not hamper his defensive effectiveness.

    What's the difference in the way we phrased that sentence?

    Major issue I see with Eason is his shooting form which seems pretty correctable. If they got Green’s shooting form fixed then I don’t see any reason why Eason’s can’t be fixed.



    8 min mark gets into his shooting inconsistencies

    The ability to go or finish left affects offense.

    It should have zero effect on his ability to defend.

    Edit: misread your original post, read it as a question instead of a declaratory.

    If they can play D, great. Shooting will improve.

    Bravo
    I've actually had a draft of almost this exact post in the que but hadn't gotten around to posting, so now there's no need

    This perfectly illustrates my side of the BPA vs Fit debate currently flowing throughout multiple threads about the team's next steps in building a contender

    Eason may not even be in the top 10 of overall best prospects in this class
    But for THIS team, only Bari & Chet rival Tari as the best prospect to further the core foundation with the pieces already in place IMO

    I hope Stone and Patrick see this

    Sounds like Tari Eason to me.

    In OP I trust. You were right about Alpi, I hope you will be right again.

    Pretty simple to solve this - send Wall for Harden

    Left Hand Dominant x Right Hand Dominant

    Don’t think we have a shot at OKCs pick to move up bc they are looking to trade that pick up not down. Bummer

    Okc going to have a monster draft and will change the direction of their franchise. Could end up with Chet/Jabari and Daniels/Eason/Williams. Will be an epic draft for them.

    I think they will try and trade for one of Charlotte's picks for Jeremy Sochan or Tari Eason and with their 17th pick they should draft Kessler from Auburn. The SEC and Naismith DPOY!! He blocker a lot of shots in the tough SEC.
