I don't know the numbers behind this, but from what I've seen Tucker's best matchup defensively is 3/4 combo types... and he can play SG on offense if needed. He's mostly going to be camping in the corners and waiting for open looks. Fits a huge need IYAM.

Or if Gortat chooses to stay in Washington. I don't see going after Okafor as a quick signing when offseason starts.

If Okafor is healthy, he is instantly the best center on the roster. Not some deep bench player.

Hayward isn't much of a defender and his shooting percentages have dropped across the board every year... sure, he'd get better looks playing next to Dirk and Ellis, but he's still mostly a volume scorer at this point. That doesn't fill much of a need. Tucker is basically the opposite... plays great defense and is a killer from the corners.
And he'll probably cost about half of the guaranteed money that Hayward will.
