While you are not wrong, I think Tyson has a lot more offense in his bag than Okoro, and perhaps more importantly is not bashful to use it. He actively looks for his shots and sets up others as well.
I do not think he is as good at shutting down hot players as Okoro is, but Okoro is elite that way. Tyson is bigger and more physical generally, which translates into rebounds and contact drawn in the paint. He doesn't get the calls yet, but I think that is where he is going.. third year in the league he is a 16 pts, 6 rebounds 3 assists kind of guy, who can defend 1-4.
I like JT, but this is an absurd expectation for him. There are few guys in the league doing this, let alone a third year player. I don’t think he’ll ever get enough minutes here to put up those kind of numbers, nor do I believe he’ll become a good enough ball handler or shooter to be efficient enough in his minutes to do that. As long as Mitchell, Garland, Mobley, Allen, and Hunter are here, there’s not going to be that kind of opportunity for a bench player in terms of scoring.
Just filtering by the numbers you put, there were only 27 guys in the league that did the statistics side of it.
Basically all current or former All-Stars outside of a handful of guys. Also, 7 guys on the list played in 50 or fewer games.
Realistically, the only guys who can legitimately defend 1-4 on this list and have those kind of statistics are: Giannis, Tatum, Durant (kind of), AD, LeBron, Wemby, Siakam, Barnes, Bane, Mobley, and Deni.
Nearly all All-Star or All-NBA caliber guys. The two outliers would be Bane and Deni.
I’ll just be happy if he’s a guy that can play a quality 15 minutes a game. If we’re being realistic, his best case scenario is probably a slightly better and more consistent version of LeVert, who could score, facilitate, rebound, and defend a few positions.
That being said, even that might be a stretch as a ‘slightly better, more consistent version of LeVert’ would be a borderline All-Star caliber player.
