eason opens the scoring with an authoritative jam for the rockets https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1545230277227810818
tari eason 22 PTS, 11 REB, 2 STL, 2 BLK there are lots of one dimensional players. cam thomas comes to mind. all solo buckets, zero defense, not much working into the offense. eason, on the other hand, is an effort hawk all over the court. he adds value all over the court. he will have a long career. so will naz reid, i predict, and so will kenneth lofton, LAtech strongman with skills. no idea how he wasnt drafted. that guy can ball.
there were 3 big time recruits coming to LSU that decomitted when wade was fired. julian philips is at tenn, yohan traore at auburn, and guard marvel allen is undecided but just released a 6 team list and LSU is back in play. quote from marvel allen: "“LSU was the first school I committed to so I have a natural love for the school and the fans. I talked to Cody Toppert the most who recruited me at Memphis but now he’s at LSU. I’ve talk to the head coach a few times but I have a relationship with Toppert the most. I know the Murray State staff is over there and they play through their guards. I really want to see a couple of games to see how it translates into the SEC but it’s a possibility I can return"
dangit coach nickleberry, who was an ace recruiter for wade, took marvel allen with him to georgetown. he will share the hoya backcourt with brandon murray on a team that last year lost something like 15 straight at one point. partick ewing is a shit coach, but they have some talent. "After exploring all options throughout my recruitment process, I've realized how important relationships are and trust I’ve decided to commit to Georgetown University because of my relationships with coach Ewing and Nickelberry " - marvel allen
