THE The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Jaylon Tyson with their only pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. The Cal guard may not have been high on the big boards, but Tyson showed during Summer League that he could end up stealing the draft.
It’s clear that Tyson is excited to be a part of this organization. He revealed that with his work ethic, he’s a perfect fit for the Cavs and the city of Cleveland.
“I think you’re going to expect somebody who cares about the community. Somebody who’s going to be a hard worker on the field and, honestly, somebody who’s going to be an everyman,” Tyson said in an interview with Bally Sports Cleveland.
“I mean, you’re going to see me smile a lot. I hear the fan base is super, super crazy. I hear Cleveland is like they are inside “They’re sports, right? What they like is hard workers and people who go out there and compete every day. That’s perfect for me.”
“You’re going to see me smile a lot.”

It’s hard to argue with anything Tyson says here.
The Cavaliers have prided themselves in recent seasons on their hard work, fighting mentality and effort. They even created a game chain award for the player who demonstrates that mentality after a win. The team can already count on Tyson to come to every game and
In the past, Cleveland fans have also fallen in love with players who play with heart and give their all on the court. Just look at Matthew Dellevadova’s journey with the team.
With that attitude, Tyson could quickly become a fan favorite in the city.
