Cleveland Cavaliers sophomore wing Jaylon Tyson has shown all the potential to be a well-rounded role player, and his second year is quickly opening the window to reach that ceiling.
Drafted 20th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, Tyson joined the Cavs after three collegiate seasons developing as a two-way threat. In college, Tyson's three-point shot and wide range of utility allowed him to develop into a remarkable talent. In his final season with the Cal Golden Bears, he showed a knack for serving as a primary ballhandler and offensive engine.
Defensively, Tyson's 6-foot-7 frame and muscular build shows real potential as a defensive stopper, a role which would greatly benefit the Cavaliers after the departure of Isaac Okoro this offseason.
