The younger Tyson, who starred at Arizona State, is hoping to get his name called in next month’s NFL draft. He’s among the top wide receiver prospects, and several critics pegged him as a mid-first-round selection.
However, there are concerns about his injury history, as he has struggled to stay on the field with knee, collarbone and hamstring issues.
Still, he could mirror the journey of the elder Tysonwho was selected by the Cavaliers with the 20th overall pick in 2024. Although he was not a heralded prospect out of California and barely played in his rookie year, he has played a major role this season.
He is averaging 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 27.6 minutes per game. He is third in the league in three-point shooting at 46%, trailing only Luke Kennard of the Los Angeles Lakers and his teammate Sam Merrill.
