Houston Rockets fans know Tari Eason is one of the best reserves in the NBA. His new teammate Josh Okogie thinks he could win Sixth Man of the Year in 2025-26.
"I'm starting a petition for Tari (to win) Sixth Man of the Year."
- Josh Okogie
Why not? It's a role Eason is familiar with. He won the SEC Sixth Man of the Year award during his sophomore college season at LSU. Eason was comfortably the best player on that team, and he came off the bench anyway.
