    One is always injured, moody and maddeningly inconsistent while the other is just maddeningly inconsistent.

    Would trade Tari before the deadline.

    Bari isnt inconsistent he sucks most of the time. Suck is his default mode so much so that people are surprised when he's good. He has tunnel vision and takes horrible shots which is a terrible mix of a guy just chucking shots all game whenever it hits his hands no matter how covered he is and looking off wide open players at the same time.

    Bari hasnt been great. He's just better than Tari. Who also is not great.

    per 36 min Tari beating Bari in every statistical category, and in many instances, by a lot. Not sure what u are basing your assertion on.

    If you usually play 0 minutes per 36, does it really matter

    It’s fine to say you don’t value Tari because he is injury prone. But it’s just not true that Bari is a better player.

    Well tari has never played for an extended stretch so it's not really possible to say what it would look like if he did. Like his shooting is good this year over a miniscule sample after being bad for 3 years so who knows what would happen if he played for a while.

    Crazy. I wonder why the coaching staff hadn't considered starting him over Jabari. They must not have access to these stats.

    Tari is defensive Jalen Green. Comes up with some steals but isnt smart enough to play solid team defense and gets roasted 1v1 to a point where Amen has to take his assignment. Hes the worst poa defender between Jabari, Amen and himself.

    He also plays vs reserves so his stats look better. He isnt good and cant stay healthy to boot.

    I don't think he can be a starter or anything but i do think he can be a solid rotation player (if he ever plays)

    Tari is a better defensive playmaker (steals) and thats about it. Neither is consistently great and both have **** for brains.

    You have to be the only person on Earth other than Jabri's family that thinks he's better than Tari Eason lol To each his or her own I guess.

    better FG% & TS% (by 5%), 3FG% (by 10%), BPM, Net Rating

    per 36 more points, more FG made, 3FG made, more rebounds, assisrs, steals

    Tari's health is stopping him from getting more minutes/starting

    You're telling me that team with bridges and cam will be good? They had the same thing minus Dennis and was still awful...

    Tari's impact stats are very good. The problem with him is that the sample size is too unreliable and you have to take those numbers with a grain of salt.

    He is an energy guy. It's easier to have energy burst if you don't have to play starter minutes night in and night out.

    Ya, it’s always silly when people point at someone’s per 36 as if it just scales linearly like that

    Bro Tari feasts on runaways and putbacks. Do you really want to see Tari try to break down a set defense? Like....lol.

    Like saying Amen is a better shooter than Reed because his FG% is higher.
