Tari Eason

Q. What are you going to bring to the Rockets, knowing that they are a young team?

TARI EASON: I think I'm just going to bring a defensive versatility and a competitive edge and just a winning mindset to the team.

Q. During the Combine, you spoke about a confidence about you being able to guard one through five. Where does that confidence come from? Because we saw it on display, not just in the words you were saying. Was it LSU or before that?

TARI EASON: It really just stems from my competitive nature. I believe that no one can score on me, or not, or I make it hard for people to score on me. I know it's the NBA and certain dudes are going to score and things are going to happen. But I pride myself on my defense and really just my competitive spirit always.

Q. Whether personal goal or a goal you want to strive for with your team, what are you looking to achieve at the NBA level?

TARI EASON: I just want to learn as much as I can personally and just grow as much as I can as a player.
