Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.70.
The leap from spot minutes to a 27-minute wing role happened last year, and our line banks most of it: about 12 and 4.5 with 1.8 threes. Nothing in the profile spikes — the assists and stocks are ordinary — so this is a breadth pick, not a category play. Solid late-draft wing filler with a little residual growth.
Jaylon Tyson enters 2026-27 at #187 on our board — Round 16 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 11.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.5 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and threes, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 62 games.
