• NBA Draft: List of picks, trades
The Cavaliers entered the 2024 NBA Draft with the No. 20 overall pick.
No. 20 pick: Jaylon Tyson
After limited playing time, Tyson transferred to Texas Tech where he started in all 31 of his appearances as a sophomore. Heading into his junior season, Tyson transferred again, this time to the California Golden Bears. He enjoyed a breakout campaign at Cal, averaging 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.3 minutes.
After an impressive season, Tyson was named to the 2023-24 All-PAC-12 First-Team and a top 10 finalist for the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award.
At 6-foot-6, Tyson has the size to get to the rim and match up with opposing wings on the defensive end. The 21-year-old’s biggest strength is his ability to create his own shot, but he has also proven to be a reliable spot-up shooter. Tyson is a willing passer and can find teammates as a playmaker in the pick-and-roll. — RotoWire. Go deeper.
