I think Tarrant is an interesting player because it seems like he is enough of a scorer that he can create shot opportunities for himself (we needed that sometimes this year, but didn't really have it). But I think his turnover stat (34 TO's in 19 GP) seems too high for him to be the PG solution. THAT said, if the guy has an aspiration to play in the NBA, he'll need to be able to play some point at a height of 6'2". It does look like he can defend, with around 1.5 steals per game, so he might be able to be another on-ball defender for us, which we could use with Bryson gone.
I'd say a true PG is our top priority, but if we have no luck there, Tarrant could be a good pick up. I don't see Painter being able to guarantee he'd start or get X minute per game considering the other guards on the roster, so it could be tough to get him to come.
