Tari Eason says he wants to start

Tari is a clap, clap, clap play harder player. If you’re rolling the ball on the court and saying play he is your best option.

 

I guess we will have to see but right now he is shooting 56% from corner 3 lmao

 

Okogie comes up big on hustle plays quite frequently and is an absolute beast on the defensive end. If his 3 pt shooting wasn’t a marage he’d be playing a much bigger role. Right now he is a valuable defensive stopper off the bench. Great value for 2.2m a year.

 

Tari is critical to us being competitive this year. He is our most reliable 3 point shooter and it looks to be a permanent skill in my opinion. If we do trade him it is because of injury and contract concerns. If we do trade him, we have to get a reliable 3 point shooter in return or we are punting the season.

 

Tari is our new PJ Tucker....that is his role, that is what he does well.....just a little different in that he is a much better rebounder.

Tari Eason is literally PJ Tucker.

Okogie is our new PJ Tucker. Cardio for 25 minutes. That’s his role & what he does well.

Tari is an agent of chaos and you accept the chaos when it’s good and accept the chaos when it’s bad. (Going 1 on 3, missed layups/putbacks, throwing it directly to the other team, dumb wtf fouls)

 

Tari's rough offense "creation", even with lesser 3pt %, is still better than what Okogie or DFS brings on offense.

Its already a changing league than PJ Tucker on MDA Rockets.
2019 Rockets had 6 players averaging over 10 ppg.
4 players over 15 PPG Harden (Harden that absurd 34 PPG)
That was plenty enough scoring, for a zero-O intangibles starter

Current Rockets also 6 players over 10 ppg, including Tari.
3 players over 18 PPG.
But Rockets cant generate enough offense. It's not just about "scoring itself". Its needing that extra player to be a legit scoring threat. Tari at least puts pressure on the d, to kinda add variance to things
