The younger Tyson, who starred for Arizona State, is hoping to have his name called in next month's NFL draft. He is one of the top prospects at wide receiver, with many critics tagging him as a mid-first round pick.
However, there are concerns over his injury history, as he has struggled to remain on the field due to problems with his knee, collarbone and hamstring.
Still, that could mirror the journey of the elder Tyson, whom the Cavaliers drafted as the 20th overall pick in 2024. Although he was an unlikely 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 ranks third in the league in three-point accuracy with 46%, behind only Luke Kennard and his teammate Sam Merrill of the Los Angeles Lakers.
