I know it's some teams out there that can use a tough pf who don't mind grinding and hustling like Tyler.

I can believe it. His rebounding numbers just aren't good enough, despite his physicality. Plus his game was digressing as a whole in Indiana before going to Toronto. The main reason though, that teams really feel that they have no reason for him, is those rebounding numbers, and he's been in the league 6 years now, turns 30 this season, so development kind of seems like a lost cause.
He's going to Charlotte.

His career per 36 minute rebounding average is 9.8. I've never read anything that speaks to an inability to rebound.
Here's an article written at the beginning of the month discussing Tyler's value. Some pretty good stats that illustrate his abilities.

Look, I know Tyler will never be an All-Star. He's not that gifted. But when he gets time on the court, he can produce. His second year in Indiana, he averaged 11 and 5 in 22 mpg for a .500 ball club (7 double doubles in only 29 starts). So it's not like he's a buster. He's just not been utilized correctly.
I don't remember what you're talking about but I'm betting the Pacers troubles weren't solely attributed to Tyler. If they were counting on Tyler to "create shots", then they were behind the 8 ball to begin with.
Hansbrough is an energy guy, a rebounder, a much improved defender and a low post workhorse that needs a few touches per half and can draw fouls like nobody's business. It's shocking that NBA coaches struggle to find the right way to use him.
While at Carolina he should have put more work into his outside shot. A player his size cannot back down NBA players. K might have given him more freedom to step out and put up buckets.

While I am not going to try and sell anyone the idea of Tyler being a top player at his position, success is measured differently by everyone. He is still making an awesome living playing the game he loves to play. And if he continues to do so would you not find that successful? He certainly deserves to be in the league.No he wasnt the only prob. But he was a hi draft pick and a starter that disappeared in the playoffs and becsme a def liability and the pacers unloaded him because of that. I love hans but i said here his game would not translate into success in the nba and it hasnt.

Oh i would love to have his success for sure. I'm just saying the pacers, as with any team, draft a player that high with the expectation that the player will produce more than hans was able to.

he probably will have made in excess of twenty million dollars before his career is over. if that is failure sign me upOh i would love to have his success for sure.
