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)

All of those Tyson predictions, if they come to pass, will say that "Come to Cal because Madsen can maximize your talent, and turn you into a 1st round NBA draft pick, if you have the goods."
I'm sure this is what Andrej was thinking.

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:

Very tactful in not mentioning the actual reasons for leaving Texas Tech.

As Rod Benson said, it's not always and only about money (paraphrase).

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