His RebRtg of 13.4 would rank him #2 on the Mavs, only behind Wood... at the pf/sf spot which is our weakest.OG and Bridges were both starters for their teams (OG on a playoff team) while Eason is a backup on a worst in the league record team type. That makes it really hard to give him any value other than a #17 pick (if anything, he's lost value). I get why he's off the bench, but it just doesn't make things easier to evaluate when trying to make a comparison or picturing him starting here (I would think he'd have to win that spot depending on who we bring in this offseason).
His first year compares favorably to the OG's 3rd and Mikal's 2nd year (adjusted comparison for age difference).

He has more size than Mikal. Here are their draft vitals...
Tari 6'8", 217lbs, 7'2"wingspan
OG 6"7", 232lbs, 7'2"wingspan
Mikal 6'7", 210lbs, 7'1"wingspan
So what would we give up to have either Mikal or OG? Factoring in the risk that he doesn't develop into OG/Mikal, what are we willing to give up for Tari?
What would be the extra compensation? Problem is I don't have a good handle on who most of their guys are. They are targeting Harden and a PG when Green is a combo G which gives me a bit of pause as to what the direction is. However, Tate is a defensive stopper for them, Is he too much compensation? Tate and Eason for Bullock and #10?
