Jaylon Tyson is taking part in the NBA Combine, and we know a little bit.

He was measured without shoes and had a height of at 6 feet 5.5 inches and a weight of 218.2 pounds. He has a wingspan of 6 feet 8 inches, and a standing reach of 8 feet 6.5 inches.

Tyson did well in the 3-point drill, tying for 2nd with 18/25 shooting. He and Tennessee's Dalton Knecht crashed the all-Connecticut leaderboard at the time:

Since then, Bronny James, of all people, hit 19/25 to take 2nd place, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, who posted the video on social media.

read Bronny is 6*1 and a half (USC listed him at 6*4)

More from Jaylon Tyson at the NBA Combine.

The NBA's official results pages are finally up. On the Anthro page, in addition to the measurements I posted above, Tyson's hands are 8.25 inches long and 9.5 inches wide. He tied for 4th in non-stationary shooting and tied for 6th in spot-up shooting. He was somewhere in the middle for most strength and agility stats.

(If you want, you can sort the stats on these pages by clicking the column. For example, click on POS in the Anthro page to sort the combine participants by position. Tyson is classified here as a small forward, and you can see how his hand size, height, weight, standing reach, and wingspan compare to other small forwards.)

Hoops Hype of USA Today also did a series of interviews with the prospects. Here's the video where they talk to Tyson:

Wonderful. Wish him all the success in the world!

After the Warriors, whatever team he's playing for will be my new team.

I think Jaylon will be a great pick for some team. I don't entirely understand the the NBA's obsession with taking these one-and-done kids. I can only attribute it to FOMO. How many of them underachieve, are traded or don't get resigned after their rookie contract, and then bounce from team to team for a few years? Meanwhile, there are three and four-year college players who have actually been coached, had to earn playing time, are more physically mature, and maybe picked up some real education and leadership skills. The Sac Kings' Keegan Murray has done a great job for them. I'd be ecstatic if the Kings drafted Jaylon.

---

You don't think it is because the best players are one-and-done or zero-and-done? Take the all-pro first to third teams. Four players with zero college, six played one year, three played two years, and only Stephen Curry and Jalen Brunson played three years, both because they were undersized.The point is not to draft adequate players but rather to get stars. If it does not work out, no problem, there is another draft next year.

I like Tyson. I was early on the bandwagon, probably alone here at the time, of him being a first round pick. Which is about 50-50. And there is some chance that he will be an NBA rotation player. But if I am a GM I am swinging for the fences and only drafting a player like Tyson if I can't think of anyone potentially better.

I see your point about superstars but disagree that NBA GMs are looking to "swing for the fences." To start, the conventional wisdom is that this year's draft is very light on superstar but is deep with potential key role players. As a lifelong Lakers fan, I can attest to how important key role players are for teams with championship aspirations. The Lakers are saddled with Anthony Davis's $300 million max contract and will likely be saddled with another huge contract for a past his prime LeBron James. These two players will eat up well over half of the Lakers's salary cap space for the foreseeable future. They don't have enough space to bring in any other superstars without (1) running out of cap space and/or (2) filling out their roster with the dregs of the NBA. Either way, they're unlikely to win another championship so long as LeBron and AD are on the team. This is a roundabout way of saying that IMHO, the most valuable players are not the superstars (who get max contracts) but the role players who play for contracts worth one quarter to one-half of the max contracts.

While any team with championship aspirations need to have superstars, teams also need really good role players to help take the pressure off the superstars. With the way the CBA is structured, the (all but automatic) max contracts, and the salary cap(s), this means championship teams are going to be hunting for the role players who outperform their contracts. Moreover, guys on smaller contracts (especially those on expiring deals) are much more easily moved in trades. This is a boon not just for championship contenders but also for rebuilding teams looking to collect draft picks.

As mentioned above, the current assessment of this year's draft class is that it's light on superstars but possibly long on depth (read: role players). Jaylon is likely not being looked at as a potential superstar, but rather as a future key role player. While I would love to see him prove the NBA scouts wrong and turn into a superstar, more likely than not, his future is as a 3-and-D wing who can both create his own shot and catch-and-shoot. In today's NBA, they types of players are in high demand. If Jaylon succeeds in making this his niche, he's likely to play for a good 10+ years and make in the neighborhood of $100 million in NBA lifetime earnings.

Ultimately, I think this year's draft is a gift for GMs. They need lots of guys who make $10-$20 million a year who can make shots and play hard-nosed D without making any All-NBA or even All Star teams. This draft could prove to be loaded with these types of players.

Anthony Davis makes roughly the same amount as Kyrie Irving, Gobert, and Luka Dokic at 40. Jaylen Brown and ANT make roughly the same as LeBron at 50. KAT makes the most per year at 55 million. Tatum only made 30 million but will likely make ~55m after this season.

Anthony Davis made all NBA second team. LeBron made all NBA third team, so they are both top 15 players.

The catch is that finding that kind of player in the draft is hit-or-miss. About one out of every four draft picks becomes a useful player for five or more years in the NBA.

The ideal situation for a team would be to have four or five picks in this draft, out of which one (or two if you're lucky) will be a keeper.

I'm not saying teams don't want superstar players. Rather, with the current CBA, teams have a greater need to fill out their roster with good key role players on $10-20 million contracts. I'm not as familiar with other teams, but LeBron and AD's contracts ate up about 2/3 of the salary cap this year. The Lakers also had four key role player contracts in the $10-20 million range this year, which totaled about 1/3 of the team's cap space. That means the Lakers already hit the salary cap with only half of the team's required roster slots filled.

In order to minimize the luxury tax, let alone prevent going into the first (or worse, the dreaded second) apron, the Lakers could only fill out their remaining roster spots with players making under $5 million. Since the Lakers wound up filling all 15 roster spots, that meant they added 9 players, of whom 3 were on rookie contracts, by the end of the year. Of the remaining six players, one was signed for $1.5 million after the trade deadline and two signed for close to the veteran's minimum. Two players split the mid-level exception. The last player signed the bi-annual exception. With the possible exception of the two players who split the MLE and the post-trade deadline pickup signed off waivers (a total of three players), none of the remaining (six) players played key roles for the team.

Since most championship contenders have one or two players on max or supermax contracts, which eat up about 60-70% of a team's salary cap, they're as constrained as the Lakers in how they can allocate their salary cap space. This means key role players (those making in the $10-20 million) are at a premium. If a team can lock in a key role player on a rookie scale contract, so much the better, as it reduces the salary cap hit, not just for the duration of the rookie contract but even in subsequent contracts (especially early Bird and Bird rights contracts).

Swinging for the fences (and connecting), OTOH, would mean a team would likely have to sign a rookie contract extension that eats up 25%-30% of a team's cap space (assuming the player was a first round draft pick). Assuming that team already had two max or supermax contracts, that means about 85-100% of a team's salary cap space would be tied up on three players. Assuming only about 85% is tied to the three players, that leaves enough space for one key role player contract in the $10-20 million range before hitting the salary cap. For a championship contender, that means filling out the rest of the roster with the MLE, rookie, and minimum contracts. That kind of roster is too top heavy and will struggle down the road with depth issues. One or two injuries to key players and the team's championship dreams are pretty much over (for the year).

In short, while some teams may want to swing for the fences, the majority of the championship contenders are likely happy to settle for a base hit or a double in the draft. Too many homers can result in top heavy teams that lack depth.

The Lakers are unlikely to win a championship because they are locked into the mediocrity treadmill. They are too good with Lebron and AD to be truly bad, so they won't get a high draft pick, which means they can't get a third impact player to pair with those two. Forget free agency. The Heat and the bubble Lakers team were really the only championship teams to build exclusively through free agency and those guys are a lot older now. Almost all the championship teams are built around drafting at least one guy that is the discussion for league MVP, which neither Lebron or Davis are.

This year's draft is one of the worst drafts in many years. The top draft picks will mostly be overpaid for their rookie deals because they either have low ceilings or are so young that they'll be developing for four years at a high cost to teams and who knows whether they'll end up as busts or decent players. There are role players found later in every draft, but the chances of a team hitting on those later picks is pretty hit and miss.

---

Agreed, especially re the Lakers. The Lakers don't have the salary cap space to add a third superstar (and in fact, most championship teams will probably have to cut down to two superstars thanks to the current CBA). Given LeBron's age and AD's propensity for injuries, the team is absolutely mired in mediocrity. They have some cap space (but still have to go into the luxury tax) to add a couple key role players. They would be better off drafting someone like Jaylon Tyson who is more mature and physically developed than a one-and-done.

TBH, most championship contenders could use someone like him. Given he's projected to be a late first round pick, the odds of him ending up on such a team are pretty good. I just hope he gets some real game time to show what he can do as well as to develop his skills further. I really like him and want to see him do well in the league.

This seems like a good time to do another roundup of recent mock drafts to see where Jaylon Tyson stands in early June.

No Ceilings/Corey Tulaba (June 7)

16. Philadelphia 76ers

Quote:

---

The Sixers have but three guaranteed contracts on the books for the 2024-25 season at the moment. This leaves the team with the freedom to attack this draft positionally, in just about any way in which they see fit, without worry of any positional overlap. With that said, they do have their two-star system established in Embiid and Maxey, so finding players who complement the duo makes sense. Jaylon Tyson's dribble, pass, shoot, and defend game at this spot lands the Sixers a complimentary piece that can play off of its all-star duo while still selecting a prospect with sneaky upside due to his versatile skill set and 6'7" frame. Tyson plays at a smooth pace and has some wiggle in his handle, allowing him to take and make some tough jumpers, many from NBA range. Tyson can also leverage that scoring ability to make plays for his teammates. Some of said passes can fall on the wild side of one's decision making scale, however there is a creativity in his vision that not every 2024 wing possesses. The draft range for the junior out of Cal is fairly wide; however, he has the potential to provide immense value wherever he ultimately lands.

---

NBADraft.net/Aran Smith (June 5)

18. Orlando Magic

Quote:

---

Tyson was one of the breakout stars of the NCAA season. The Plano, Texas native put up monster stats for Cal with 19.6 ppg and 6.8 boards to go along with great efficiency numbers. his calling card is his tremendous outside shooting ability. He's an above average athlete with a big frame for a wing and shows a very polished floor game. He's extremely adept at creating offense in isolation and has a lot of ways to get defenders off balance whether it be pump fakes or jab steps. He's not the fastest or most explosive athlete, but he plays a very controlled style and should be able to find success considering his ability to get shots off without much space. Defensively, he'll need to work on becoming better at anticipation and using his strength to overcome a lack of ideal foot speed.

Why the Magic select Jaylon Tyson: Orlando is in need of better shooting in the backcourt, making players like Carrington and Jaylon Tyson real possibilities. Tyson adds maturity for a team in the midst of a culture change with a young core making a push to be a perennial playoff team.

CBS Sports/David Cobb (June 2)

21. New Orleans Pelicans

Quote:

---

Tyson is a two-way wing who delivered as the No. 1 offensive option for Cal in 2023-24. Perhaps the elite-level upside isn't there. But with a proven body of work in three seasons of college basketball and good size, he may able to proficiently fill a rotation role early in his pro career.

---

Orlando Magic Daily/Philip Rossman-Reich (June 5)

23. Milwaukee Bucks

Quote:

---

One of the quietly best scorers in this draft is California guard Jaylon Tyson. But draft experts are all over the board on how to evaluate him and to decide where to pick him. Most have him late in the first round or early in the second round. But there is no denying he can get the ball in the basket.

Tyson averaged 19.6 points per game in his breakout junior season last year. He shot 46.5 percent on 15.4 field goal attempts per game and made 36.0 percent of his 4.5 three-point attempts per game. He shot 79.6 percent from the foul line.

He added 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Tyson has a pretty well-rounded game. But California struggled with him as the main player. That reflects poorly on him as a main creator. Thus, he drops to the end of the first round.

The question with Tyson will be whether he can play off the ball more and be a more solid spot-up shooter. That is a similar question for a lot of prospects.

Yahoo!/Krysten Peek (June 4)

26. Washington Wizards

Quote:

---

There hasn't been a ton of buzz around Tyson since the combine and that could be for good reason with teams trying to keep his workouts from leaking heading into the draft. Tyson was one of the best scorers in the Pac-12 this year and, although he measured under his listed 6-7 size from college, there's still a lot to like with how easy he's able to score on and off the ball.

Utility Sports/Sheldon Wohlman (June 4 video; embedded below)

27. Minnesota Timberwolves

Quote:

---

...I do like [Tyson's] game, though. Someone who can create off the dribble a bit. Over about half of his shots came at the rim, some of them came off the ball with him cutting, finding just open space in the defense. When the defense shifts, he just kind of seems to find himself in the right spot a lot of the time. And for a Minnesota team that's slated to lose Kyle Anderson...

---

CBS Sports/Colin Ward-Henninger (June 4)

28. Denver Nuggets

Quote:

---

The Nuggets learned in their shortened playoff run that they need a little more help off their bench, and Tyson has the frame and experience to contribute right away. He might have been overextended a bit at Cal and got into the habit of overdribbling, but his role will be simplified at the NBA level, allowing him to shine as a big guard who puts pressure on the rim and can knock down the open 3-pointers created by Nikola Jokic and Co.

---

Associated Press/John Marshall (June 5)

28. Denver Nuggets

Quote:

---

Denver's bid to repeat as NBA champions hit a wall in the second round when its top players were stretched to the limit. Tyson could give them a solid boost off the bench. The 6-6 guard has good size, finishes strong at the rim and is a decent perimeter shooter. He increased his scoring average nearly 10 points to 19.6 last season, so has shown the ability to develop his game.

On3/James Fletcher III (June 6)

37. (Big Board ranking with no teams)

Quote:

---

Jaylon Tyson raised his stock by transferring to California from Texas Tech this season. He has nearly doubled his production in every college season, showcasing constant growth. In a league which is always looking for more production on the wing, the 6-foot-7 player will have a chance to become more consistent in a role.

Tyson has seen wide swings from various rankings throughout the pre-draft process but seems destined to be an early second round pick.

---

The Ringer/Kevin O'Connor (June 4)

38. Memphis Grizzlies

Quote:

---

After transferring twice in college, Tyson blossomed with the ball in his hands at Cal. Will he be able to adjust to a downsized role in the NBA? A team like Memphis could be the best place for him to find balance.
