LSU’s Tari Eason will declare for the NBA Draft as an Early Entry Entry Candidate.
Eason, who transferred to Louisiana State University after playing at Cincinnati, earned All-SEC first-team honors this past season and is projected to be a lottery pick in the upcoming draft.
We have Eason going to the Trail Blazers at No. 10 (via their pick from the CJ McCollum trade) in our latest mock draft.

- One Western Conference scout told FortyEightMinutes that he’s “all-in” on Arizona’s Bennedict Mathurin. The 6-foot-7 wing hasn’t officially declared for the draft, though if he does, it’s likely he hears his name called early on draft night.
- Where the Pistons end up in the lottery could determine the future of Jerami Grant, as Michael Scotto of HoopsHype explains. If Detroit ends up in the top-4, taking one of the top bigs in the draft (Paolo Banchero, Jabari Smith, Keegan Murray, or Chet Holmgren), moving Grant would be a feasible next step. In our latest mock draft, the Pistons end up with the No. 5 overall pick and select AJ Griffin.
- Ohio State’s E.J. Liddell has announced that he will hire an agent and declare for the NBA Draft. The 6-foot-7 forward is expected to be a first-round pick.
