Summary
Tari is a slasher that can get downhill in a hurry off pin-downs and perimeter swings attacking the closeout; he finishes well around the rim and is active on the offensive boards. He needs to improve his handle and pace as he seems to be playing at 100mph. He also must improve his rebounding numbers, considering he averages only 6.3 for his career.

Notes
NBPA Top 100 - Charlottesville, VA - 6/11-14/2019
He has a lot of physical tools, he can be a little erratic on offense but has the size and skill to be a good player. Maybe needs another year or two to put it all together.

Offers
Eason was not able to utilize his large frame to defend out of position as he ranked in the 19th percentile of wings. He was terrible defending ball handlers, and had the highest foul rate of any wing analyzed. He was actually fantastic when defending bigs, which suggests a defensive role that keeps him away from guards.

This data was hand-tracked by AJ Wahl and Bryon Cook. Every single defensive possesion of each player's season was analyzed. This dataset includes all possessions when the defender is guarding on-ball, in man-to-man, and against a player not within their position group who shoots the ball, is fouled, or commits a turnover. The percentile listed above is a players standing compared to their postion group calculated by compliling and weighing various different metrics derrived from the hand-tracked data. This data only measures a portion of a player's impact, but it is clear that the ability to defend out of one's position group is a vital skill to contributing to winning basketball at the professional level.
