    I’m full steam ahead on the Tari Eason hype now. I’m not going to lie, I have been SUPER impressed by his overall game.

    This must be the 14th Tari Eason thread. How can you think he is being ignored?

    Damn this video got me hyped.

    I feel like we might have drafted Kawhi (Tari) AND Rashard Lewis with top 5 defense (Bari). So nice to have hope.

    I give him 10-1 odds at ROY at this point.

    His spacing is awful in part because he anticipates a shot and goes for the offensive board. That doesn't work if we don't shoot it and instead it all gets clogged up and usually a turnover. Happened several times with Josh play making and either Josh has to stop and pop or take a tough floater because there is terrible spacing and bad angles all over the court.

    That Tari & Bari frontcourt combo is going to be tough. Man the Rockets hit a homerun for the second year in a row.

    The dude is everywhere on the court. I swear sometimes there are two Tari's out there. He's that good.

    A guy with his defense, intangibles and ease of scoring is going to be good for a long time.

    You are on point, and I kind of see the method to the madness where Lucas said he was a so called ''better Rodman'', being that while he won't be the rebound monster, the balance is Tari is more than capable of consistently getting a sneak 15-20ppg (with 8-10 boards) where i think Rodman tapped out around 11/12ppg career high and flirted with 9-10ppg early in Pistons career but only around 8 or so for entire career

    and Tari, like Rodman, has the ability to defend both the perimeter and small ball interior players without being overwhelmed outside of a few bigs in the game today, i know it's early but it feels like Tari has had more 20pt games in his summer/preseason games than all of Rodman's career combined

    i would say Tari is Rodman-lite, because Rodman actually showcased that it could guard a Jordan on the perimeter early in career and later after bulking up guarded Shaq etc in the post, but Tari is like a new upgraded model defense version B Bowen / T Allen / Battier, while also showing off. flashes of young Spurs version of K Leonard and Pacers young Artest

    Tari has that ability and will be extra scary once he develops into his next level nba vet body

    Because Eason wears #17, was the 17th overall pick and only has 14 threads about him, when there should be 17 total to achieve karmic balance.

    I can't believe we're ignoring both Eason and karmic balance. Shameful CFers, I tell ya...

    Yeah he's crazy good tbh. I have no idea how he fell that far in the draft, lots of people with egg on their face their tbh. It's crazy when you think the same could've been said about Sengun last year, Stone's great at these steal picks.
