Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.71.
The leap happened, and then Cleveland spent $88M on the man who plays his position. Peyton Watson arriving in the August 20 trade takes the 3-and-D starting spot Tyson held for 42 starts, and we cut him from 28 minutes to 24 for it. What is left is about 12 and 4.5 with 1.8 threes and nothing that spikes — a breadth pick, not a category play, and now a thinner one. Late-draft wing filler only.
Jaylon Tyson enters 2026-27 at #191 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.
