Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Tyson was a four-star recruit coming out of John Paul II High School in Piano, TX after leading his team to a state championship in his junior year. He committed to playing for Texas Tech before de-committing and landing at Texas for his freshman season. 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. Tyson projects as a scoring option off the bench with secondary playmaking capabilities for second units. Tyson's game has shades of Kelly Oubre Jr. and Caleb Martin due to his ability to create his own shot from all over the court while possessing the size and length to defend opposing wings.

Nets 21 points on nine shots
FCleveland Cavaliers
July 18, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Suns keeping close tabs?
FFree Agent
June 13, 2024
Tyson could be one of the options the Suns might target with their first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports speculates.
ANALYSIS
The Suns hold the 22nd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and will be looking to add depth to their roster, as Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic are pretty much penciled into their starting five for 2024-25. They need to find value in the latter stages of the first round, and Tyson could be a valuable pick due to his two-way impact. The 21-year-old prospect out of Cal notched 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks in 34.4 minutes per game as a junior.
