    The video cuts off mid-conference but notable comments:

    1. Madsen at Cal mostly ran NBA sets on offense, so Tyson is already familiar with a lot of the plays NBA teams run, which contributed to his excellent workouts and combine.
    2. Tyson had to learn how to play PG at Cal this year and part of that is learning other positions, so he has positional versatility.
    3. He cried when he got drafted.
    4. He compares himself to Caleb Martin and Josh Hart.
    5. Koby says Tyson didn’t play politics in the draft workout process and try to be mysterious. He was upfront, had a great workout, and left a great impression on the team.
    6. Tyson wants to win a ring this year.
    7. Tyson wants to be All Defense. In his rookie year. He says that’s his biggest next step goal.
    8. Niang was the first Cavs player to reach out to Tyson after the draft.
    9. Tyson loves basketball. He didn’t have a 5* recruit path to the NBA but his love for the game kept him going. He understands what it’s like to be at the bottom and what it’s like to be at the top.
    10. Koby doesn’t see Tyson switching schools twice as an issue.
    11. Tyson’s close with Al Harrington.

    Comes off as such a likable and positive guy, i think he’s going to fit in with our team culture perfectly. Maybe I’m delusional but I have high hopes for this guy as far as being a good rotation piece whether it be a starter or really good bench player.
