    Tari Eason is all over the place. I love it. He's definitely the kind of player we have been missing.

    Bari... he looks very passive and unsure of himself. His shot hasn't been falling in the first two games but he played hard. This game... he looks flat out bad. Lazy passes, getting blown by on defense, floating around on offense, etc...

    To be fair, it seems like our guards are ignoring him a bit; I mean they were running a functional offense to get Tari open threes when Bari was on the bench but as soon as he checked back in our guards started doing their best Allen Iverson impersonation. I still have to place some blame on Bari, he can't be invisible on the court. When they ignore you for 5 straight possessions, plant you feet at your favorite spot and demand the ball.

    **edit**
    Of course right before I hit send he gets a transition layout and then they actually run a successful pick and pop for him. This is good. I want to see more of it. Our offense should be pick n pop or pin-downs. That's it.

    That should be half of Smith's shot attempts this season. The pick and pop with KPjr or Green. It will open up the driving lane for them or the open 3 for him

    Damn Bari’s shoot is so aesthetically and sonically satisfying

    That last play there is what Smith gonna be doing all day.

    He knew he was getting the ball, so he could set his feet and not rush the shot, ez money.

    Dude has no idea when he's going to get the ball...watches dudes go one on 3 or 4 every other play, of course when he shoots its going to be rushed.

    Sure his handle needs a lot of work, no one can deny that, but the shot is there and it will fall when he's getting open looks like that.

    jabari is pretty bad offensively, I expected a lot more from the third pick. He is not ever going to be a bust due to his overall effort but his offensive fluidity is not close to what it looked like in his explosive highlights at auburn
