The Cavaliers took Tyson with the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after he averaged 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a junior in the 2023-24 college season. Tyson is also an accomplished three-point shooter who drained 36 percent of his three-point attempts last season, but that figure was a staggering 40.2 percent at Texas Tech in 2022-23. His ability to defend and hit three-pointers will ultimately determine his role in the NBA, but he's not expected to see steady minutes off the bench in a contending team such as the Cavaliers. Knowing Max Strus, Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang sit ahead of him in the pecking order at the small forward position, it seems Tyson won't have enough minutes to make an impact on a consistent basis, meaning his upside in standard formats will be almost non-existent. He might be a more popular target in dynasty leagues, but even in that scenario, he figures to be a stash prospect rather than a player who can contribute right away.
