The 'eloquence' stuff is lame.
A lot of good players who aren't great at public speaking (like Drew Brees... for example.)
Expectation from Jake is Mathurin/Daniels will both be gone by #8. https://t.co/1jfCLk246T pic.twitter.com/KXVRfCaC7a

The award for the most disrespectful trade proposal of all time goes to
It's been an age and my blood is still boiling
The utter disrespect for the other team involved in the trade is unfathomable
Guess I can lump GSW and Laker fans together again

You can just see the entitlement written all over his Avatar
I was raging, now I just think he's as pathetic as he looks
The Golden tie says it all
Eason reminds me a lot of Brandon Clarke from a few years ago.
Multi-year college player who gets criticised because he's not an elite shooter and is a bit undersized for traditional notions of the 4/5, but who is a physically powerful defender who plays with consistent aggression and energy, has some ability to control the ball - particularly in transition - but isn't a serious creator in the half court.
Of course, he's not exactly the same. Clarke had a worse wingspan but was one of the most ridiculous second-jump athletes I've ever seen and was extraordinarily cerebral defensively, whereas Eason is more gifted in terms of measurements but doesn't have the same level of preternatural defensive feel that Clarke showed. But still, a lot of similarities. I wonder if, like Clarke, he'll also drop out of the lottery and gift someone a steal?
Basketball.
I've seen interviews with him where he comes across well, and have seen a lot of other scouts/NBA media types somewhat surprised by the news that he interviewed poorly. Meanwhile, Wiseman got plaudits for speaking a few sentences of Mandarin during his draft process and the dude plays basketball like he has to make choices from a Bethesda dialogue tree in real time. Kawhi Leonard also got bad feedback out of his interview process - he was so nervous when he interviewed for the Suns that he sweated through his suit and that, reportedly, made them doubt him - and LaMelo Ball got awful press following a bunch of his interviews and he's turned out alright.
I think it's fair to have some quibbles about his feel at the very highest level, but it's not like Eason just tripped and fell into a 4.5%STL and 6.5%BLK while posting one of the highest college BPMs of the last decade. He makes generally good decisions on the court.
Nah, you will talk yourself into FA being more interesting than it actually will be. Then, Zion extension week. Then, you will convince yourself Summer League matters. Then, some guy will still be unsigned a month into FA and there will be a 50 page thread on why we should sign him and cut X player. Then, before you know it training camp will be here and Y player is in the best shape of his life and Kira looks poised for a bounce back. Then, some player will be disgruntled and trade rumors will proceed and you will wonder, "Should the Pels make an offer for this guy?!"
There will always be something. I have been through 30+ of these offseasons now. Never fails
