Mike Gansey: Jaylon Tyson does a little bit of everything

Here’s Cleveland Cavaliers General Manager Mike Gansey on what he likes about 2024 #20 pick Jaylon Tyson.

(via Cleveland Cavaliers):

“We’re excited. Obviously Jaylon, big guard, 6’6, 6’7, big body, three level scorer, gets downhill. He had to do everything for Cal this year, played point, played 1, 2, 3. Didn’t have a lot around him, they were very young, played walk-ons a lot. Obviously Mark Madsen’s I think one of the better coaches in college basketball, so Mark did a great job with them, they really overachieved. But he’s tough, competitive. He was one of the only guys that we had kinda in that 20 area that came in and worked out actually. He had a great workout for us, he was everywhere. He can rebound. He can pass. He can shoot. He just fills so many gaps. Does a little bit of everything. Can play 1-3. Gets in passing lanes. Is tough. He just kinda checks a lot of boxes and we’re excited. Hopefully, he was gonna be there at 20.”
