Tari Eason is playing way above his size this year, standing out as one of the most impactful shot-blocking rebounders on a rate basis
Averaging about 2.5 blocks/75 possessions and 12 reb/75 in 17 mpg, Tari is one of the only forwards in a graphic dominated by centers #Rockets
“Metric-wise, analytic-wise, he’s off the charts… he defends, obviously he can shoot the ball (40%!). We’re happy his minutes are starting to go up.”
