Last offseason, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Jaylon Tyson 20th overall in the draft and stated they planned to take a patient approach with his development.

Tyson, a three-year collegiate prospect, joined the Cavs as a low-risk, high-reward wing with proven talent as a three-point shooter and solid perimeter defender. With the Cal Golden Bears during his junior year, Tyson broke out as a legitimate all-around threat, serving as the go-to offensive leader and scorer.
