Oriakhi really couldn't finish at the rim and was almost entirely a below the rim player, whereas Tilmon is better at playing above the rim and often seeks out and can finish through contact. Tilmon is better at running the floor than Oriakhi was but doesn't have as good natural footwork, and Oriakhi was taught how to seal a defender and establish low post position and Tilmon has no idea how to do that correctly.
More crucially, we had depth that season where Oriakhi foul trouble wasn't crippling. Whereas Tilmon is our only post player on this team and he is highly foul prone and when he does get in foul trouble he becomes extremely passive and a large defensive liabilty.
