NBA Future Watch: Jaylon Tyson Basketball Cards, Cleveland CavaliersNBA Future Watch: Jaylon Tyson Basketball Cards, Cleveland Cavaliers – Jaylon Tyson is a versatile wing with an intriguing all-around game. The third time was the charm for Tyson at the collegiate level. The program at California provided a launch pad to the NBA. It set Tyson to become a significant player in the Cleveland Cavaliers quest for the title as well.

Born in Plano, TX, Tyson played for the local high school John Paul II. He broke out during his junior season, leading the team to their first state championship behind 23.3 PPG, 5.8 RPG and 2.1 APG. Tyson’s team made the state semifinals in his senior season with 22.3 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 4.1 APG and 2.1 SPG.

Rated the #34 overall recruit in the country by Rivals, Tyson played at Texas and Texas Tech before landing at Cal. The Golden Bears had reason to see Tyson as an undervalued asset. He averaged .402 3% for the Red Raiders despite being limited to the fifth place on the team in FGA.

Tyson broke through in a big way in the Bay Area, with 19.6 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 3.5 APG, 1.2 SPG and .796 FT%. With eight double-doubles, five of them of the 20-10 variety, Tyson demonstrated his versatility in a strong way.

Landing with the Cavs in the 2024 NBA Draft, Tyson has the opportunity to learn from a very similar player, Caris LeVert. Though, LeVert is likely to be priced out of town in the next year due to the restrictive new CBA. Like LeVert, Tyson is a strong secondary playmaker with the ability to take some possessions in the lead role. Also, like LeVert, Tyson will have to work to maintain his offensive prowess in a role where he is the third option. But if Tyson can continue to improve on his outside shooting, all of that will take care of itself. He will become the strong wing, the missing piece of the puzzle, that this championship contender has been seeking.

With parallels and inserts among them, Tyson’s cards and stickers date to 2021. Leaf Metal and Leaf Memories contain a variety of different styles.
