He needs to add the ability to draw fouls to his game and with that he will average a higher points per game. Once he does that and is more consistent, we would be talking about being in the same category as a Donovan Mitchell. He is already perfectly ok with shooting and play making in big moments.
Using the Celtics as an example, because that team was perfectly built. I think we need to use Tyler more in the Ray Allen role. He has to be running around screens and be ready to shoot any open shot, and then drive when he has the avenue. That isn't to say that he can't handle the ball and make plays, but for Jimmy to be effective, Jimmy has to be in the Paul Pierce play making role. Bam will never be KG offensively, but he has to be aggressive like KD at all times so the defense collapses on him and it opens up the court.
There is something missing right now. We rarely see Jimmy, Bam, and Tyler all have a good game together. That combination of players isn't meshing well all the time, and that is a bit of a problem. It all hinges on Jimmy and Bam being aggressive.
The problem is that that is simply not how Tyler plays. You want Tyler to play like old Ray Allen, but he wants to play more like young Ray Allen. He wants the ball in his hands. He leads the team (again) in shot attempts per game, shot attempts per minute played, shot attempts per possession, and in usage rate. He doesn't want to be a complementary piece, he wants to be a star. He wants to be THE star. He's very clearly our 3rd best option, but too often he's option #1.
For whatever reason Spo and the organization seem reluctant to set the proper pecking order.
