Cal’s Jaylon Tyson has been one of the most productive players in college basketball and deserves more love heading into the 2024 NBA Draft 🔥
The 6’7 junior has showcased it all this season — been elite working out of the P&R and plays with an extreme level of confidence and poise.
Converts on a ton of tough finishes and has a great floater as well. Plays at his own pace and gets wherever he wants.
Has all the tools to be a productive player in the league from day one 📈📈
