It is what it is. Sengun was way better and didn't play for half a year. Now he is starting center. Rookies have to learn and fight. building championship team is a marathon not a sprint
I think it's pretty much if you're a high-lottery pick, you have to work to get out of a high rotation spot and if you're a lower pick, you probably have to work your way up past veterans. If he's as good as he is made out to be or seemed, he'll be fine and will probably have earned a 6-8th man type of role by the end of the season.
"Coming up on the Locked on Rockets Podcast....is Tari Eason really in the 100th Percentile of all players 6-8 and below? Is Jabari Smith actually 6-11 and what does that mean for the Rockets moving forward? Brought to you by built bar."
Tari Eason is selected as the 1st team in summer league. He can’t play as main backup players in the NBA worst team?
I hope they trade KJ Martin. For like, a conditional 3rd round pick. I'm just here to do my job bro you may as well go ahead and try to be better than the guys who you think are taking your spot. Tari Eason having to earn it as a rookie, the surprised Pikachu face on Rockets internet is too much for me. I can't even. What a bunch of noise.
Tari will be a main part of the rotation in no time, ESPECIALLY after KJ gets benched for attitude detrimental to the team.
