The former Cal star scores 23 points on 9-for-10 shooting and draws raves from ESPN analyst Channing Frye
After Jaylon Tyson drove into traffic, scored and drew a foul for an ensuing free throw, ESPN analyst and former NBA big man Channing Frye celebrated the former Cal star.Two days after flirting with a triple-double, Tyson produced another excellent performance as the Cleveland Cavaliers closed out NBA summer league play with a 100-93 win over the Indiana Pacers at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon.
The 20th pick in the NBA draft, Tyson didn’t have the ball in his hands for much of the game, as he did Thursday when he basically played point guard and posted 21 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. With 3:16 left, he assisted on a 3-pointer by Jayson Graves giving Cleveland an 86-83 lead. Tyson scored on a drive to the hoop with 2:52 left, maintaining the three-point margin. And with 1:42 to play, he bounced a behind-the-back pass to Pete Nance, who swished a 3-pointer to make it 94-89.
During a sideline interview between the third and fourth periods, Tyson said summer league has been a fun experience.
