3 years agoThe Houston Rockets selected forward Tari Eason 17th overall in the 2022 NBA draft. Standing at 6'8", Eason is a versatile forward with a 7'2" wingspan. He struggled in his first collegiate season at Cincinnati, then transferred to LSU last year, where he truly broke out. He averaged 16.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.9 steals per game last year while shooting 52.1% from the field and 80.3% from the free throw line. The 21-year-old could have a chance to break into the rotation for the young Rockets as a rookie.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
