But Tyler is an offensive player with limited offensive skills yet in the face of that he's a ball stopper. A good NBA team will have a number of more gifted scorers than Tyler. To fit in on a team like this he is going to have to learn to bring the same energy while allowing the ball to move to other players. Seeing the floor making the next pass unfortunately doesn't come naturally to him.
^Exactly. Tyler is extremely limited offensively, and he really doesn't defend too well for his size. His energy is great, don't get me wrong, but if all he can do is bring energy off the bench, he's not worth keeping around.
And he is also a "black hole". When the ball goes into him, it doesn't come out. He'll take the shot whether it's an off-balance mid range jumpshot with Dwight Howard guarding him or not.
