Jaylon Tyson

For every team that they’ve stomped past, the Cleveland Cavaliers — through an undefeated record and a top-of-the-NBA victory margin — have also stumbled upon a hidden benefit: the opportunity to reward their new talent with valuable end-of-game repetitions. Utilizing said opportunity to the fullest, Jaylon Tyson begins a memorable sequence through one of Cleveland’s go-to inverted guard-on-forward screen plays, ultimately swinging the ball to his crafty teammate. Locked, loaded, and prepared to let a shot fly upon receiving it back, Tyson punishes Jamison Battle’s overhelp, leisurely releasing a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer to knock a key NBA milestone from his checklist. Sizzling enough in his scoring to record a 15-point scoring average on 50-40-90 percentage splits during the Cavaliers’ Summer League play, Tyson picked up precisely where he left off, contributing to a 30-point road win on October 23, 2024. Forcing the throwback-uniformed Toronto Raptors to look towards the future for better days, Tyson contributed through a four-point, two-rebound, one-assist, one-triple performance in just six minutes.
