    He was 100-1 last week in Vegas. He's gonna move up fast. I predict 5-1 odds by end of yr. Whoever took him at 100-1 was smart

    Tari will be the best player in this draft in 5 years.

    Pencil him in as ROY.

    He's at +6600 right now. It will be a minutes issue. If he plays out, he will get the minutes. He will have stiff competition with Keegan Murray. tho.

    His game is really starting to remind me of a young Shawn Marion

    I imagine Bari would be up there as well if Lucas would have shut it down 1 minute sooner. :D

    I just like how his game blends in with the team around him. You don't really have to call a play for him and he can score. This guy has a good understanding on what he can and can't do. Glue guy. I remember Ryan Hollins comparing him to a former Rocket Trevor Ariza.

    Tari when he gains some NBA strength is going to be scary. the classic player that you HATE to play against but love it when this guy is on your team.

    When I watch Tari play I see a versatile player who is still slightly raw, with a big motor who has great instincts, especially on defense and the boards. His offensive game needs refinement, but he’s much further developed than most thought he’d be offensively. Once he gets some experience he’s going to be Kwahi esq.

    there is no reason to bring him along slowly. Throw him in the deep end of the pool. Give him minutes!!!

    I feel like Tari is already a better ball handler than Ariza. Ariza is probably the most awkward player I've seen on offense, everything is very out of control

    He’s one of the best natural offensive rebounders I’ve seen come into the league in a while. That’s something that is really hard to teach; instinct and motor play a big role.

    This is not meant as disparaging to Eason. Has anyone else noticed that he's played with some really bad lineups? It is almost like Lucas realizes he doesn't have enough shooters with certain combinations, and then puts in Eason with them to feast on the missed shots to mitigate the shooting woes some.

    Silas makes every rookie, player look like absolute ass. Imagine if Tari had a real coach. Tari literally just running around out there with no direction looking great. Tari would look like prime Kawhi in any other system, lol
