Jaylon Tyson is proving again and again why he is a game-changing talent in his second season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Drafted in 2024, Tyson rarely saw the court in his rookie year. The Cavs were building a 64-win season and rarely saw opportunities to add another player to an already-full rotation. Showing flashes when he had the chance, though, Tyson never ignored his role when he hit the hardwood.
As the Cavaliers faced injuries to start the season, Tyson quickly saw his role expanded. The offseason Isaac Okoro trade also opened a new rotation spot on the wing and a need for perimeter defense.
