Ignore his worst category (assists) and he's worth -0.50.
Pure stocks merchant — steals, blocks and boards off the bench — and our line matches last year to the decimal. The problem for 9-cat is the rest: sub-43% FG, a small scoring role, and a body that hasn't cleared 60 games since his rookie year. A punt-FG%/punt-points defensive specialist, with availability the standing flag.
Tari Eason enters 2026-27 at #126 on our board — Round 11 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 11.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 25.8 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and steals, with assists the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-assists builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 59 games, which is priced into his draft value.
