Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Tyson is a five-year college player out of Clemson. He became a full-time starter in 2021-22 -- his fourth year. That season, he averaged 10.0 points on 46/35/79 shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.6 minutes. As a senior, he was voted to the ACC All-First Team behind 15.3 points on 48/41/84 shooting, 9.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Tyson led the Tigers to a 23-11 record. He set collegiate career bests of 31 points, 15 rebounds, four assists (twice), four steals, three blocks and six three-pointers (two times). Tyson projects as primarily a stretch four in the NBA, but he's capable of pump-faking and driving to make plays. He'll do more than just stand in the corners, though, as he'll be active without the ball, setting screens or making hard cuts. He showed off some post ability at Clemson. His biggest weakness may be trying to cover quicker NBA forwards on defense. NBA comparisons to Tyson may vary based on how a team decides to deploy him -- how much they want him on the perimeter versus working on the interior. Regardless, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Mirotic have similar skillsets and bodies. Tyson will presumably have to fight for an NBA roster spot as a rookie, and Summer League could be crucial. He may develop into a solid bench piece.

Plays 15 minutes in victory
FDenver Nuggets
November 5, 2024
Tyson ended Monday's 121-119 win over the Raptors with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal over 15 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tyson chipped in on the defensive end during his second consecutive game hitting the double-digit mark in minutes. The 24-year-old is a candidate for an increased role with Aaron Gordon (calf) set to miss multiple weeks.
