Cleveland Cavaliers Select Jaylon Tyson in 2024 NBA Draft

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Jaylon Tyson from California as the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Tyson, a 21-year-old wing, averaged 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game, showing promise in scoring but needing improvement in defense. He will join the Cavaliers under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, known for player development. Tyson, who played at multiple colleges including Texas Tech and Cal, is expected to address the team's need for shooting and wings. His selection marks the first time a Cal player has been drafted in the first round since Jaylen Brown in 2016, offering potential for Cleveland's roster.
