Are Cavs' Fans Sold On The Jaylon Tyson Pick?

Some have been comparing Tyson to Isaac Okoro, but Mike Lucas, the producer of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, believes there is more Caris LeVert to his game.

Cavs' sideline reporter Serena Winters expressed appreciation for Tyson's energy, eagerness and confidence already in his first few days as a Cavalier.

At Cal, Tyson was the primary scorer and handled the basketball a ton. In the Cavs offense, he will likely be off ball a whole lot more. The Fear the 'Fro podcast posted some numbers from him in an off ball role with Texas Tech and they look promising.

Honestly, there could be numerous statements added to this from media members who had great things to say about the rookie following his introductory press conference.

Although many appear to be sold at this point, I think it is fair to be skeptical. The height does not concern me as much as his ability to push the pace in transition. When watching clips of Tyson at Cal, it felt like the offense usually slowed down when the ball touched his hands. The Cavs should be looking to speed up their offensive pace after having one of the slowest ones in the league the past few seasons.

There is no doubt that all of the fans and people surrounding the team want Tyson to succeed. Truthfully, Cleveland needs him to succeed in his role with the team. The Boston Celtics are coming off a championship year where they were so well-rounded as a unit. The New York Knicks have also been rather aggressive in the past week as they strengthen their roster.

Unless Cleveland shocks everyone and makes some massive moves, they are trending towards running it back next year with virtually the same group. Tyson will need to put on a good showing in the Summer League because potential valuable minutes in regular season games should be coming his way quickly. Hopefully the general optimism about him is correct and Cleveland got this one right.
