2023-24 stats:
In 2023-24, Tyson averaged 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. He shot 46.5 percent from the field, 36.0 percent from three, and 79.4 percent from the foul line.
Strengths:
* Ideal measurements for the NBA at 6-7 with long arms
* Utilizes power and ability to absorb contact effectively
* Projected to play as a shooting guard or small forward, with potential to fill in as a small ball power forward
* Solid lateral quickness on the perimeter and vertical athleticism near the rim
* Excels as a spot-up shooter and off-ball player
* Displays above-average passing skills with occasional flashy passes
* High basketball IQ and keen situational awareness
* Excellent off-ball movement and cutting ability
* Shot-ready and quick release
* Versatile player who can blend into any offense
Weaknesses:
* Falls short of being labeled a defensive stopper
* Tends to commit reckless turnovers by attempting difficult passes
* Struggles at times with decision-making and can get too cute off the dribble
* Lack of an explosive first step makes him susceptible to defenders stripping the ball
* Offensive game reliant on volume shooting in college may not translate to the pros
Scotto's draft notes:
“Tyson is a Swiss Army knife type of player who has good size and shows potential to be a two-way player on both sides of the ball while doing everything,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype.
