Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Nets 21 points on nine shots
Tyson scored 21 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT) during Thursday's exhibition loss to the Lakers, adding 11 rebounds, nine assists, one three-pointer, two steals and two turnovers across 32 minutes.
Tyson was coming off a 2-of-6 shooting performance, but he got things back on track in this one, finishing 6-of-9 from the field and 8-of-9 at the stripe. Overall, Tyson has looked pretty good in Las Vegas, so it'll be interesting to see if the 21-year-old can immediately earn a sizable role in Cleveland. He'll be someone to keep an eye on over training camp and the preseason.

Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Goes No. 20 overall to Cavs
Tyson was selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Tyson began his collegiate career at Texas before spending his sophomore season at Texas Tech and then moving on to Cal. As a junior, Tyson took a big step forward, pacing the Bears with 19.6 points per game to go with 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals. A versatile creator who uses his size well, Tyson is capable of playing both on and off the ball, though he'll likely be asked to function as a catch-and-shoot threat early in his NBA career. Last season, Tyson knocked down 36.0 percent of his three-point attempts after shooting 40.2 percent from deep at Texas Tech in 2022-23.
