Former LSU forward Tari Eason worked out with Thunder in pre-draft visit
The Oklahoma City Thunder worked out LSU forward Tari Eason in a pre-draft visit, per The Athletic’s Josh Robbins.
LSU's Tari Eason said he has upcoming workouts scheduled with Cleveland, Memphis and San Antonio. He said he's already worked out for Minnesota, Charlotte, Atlanta, Chicago, Oklahoma City and New York. This morning, he worked out with Washington.

Eason is projected to be a first-round pick selected between the end of the lottery and the early 20s. In 33 games last season, Eason averaged 16.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and one assist on 52.1% shooting.
The Thunder own four of the first 34 picks: second, 12th, 30th and 34th. Selecting Eason at No. 12 would be a bit of a reach, but if the Thunder can combine two picks in the 30s to move up into the 20s, perhaps Eason will drop far enough to be available.
