INDEPENDENCE — Brothers Jaylon and Jordyn Tyson have a friendly wager on whether Jordyn will be a top-10 NFL Draft pick. Unfortunately, Jaylon won’t be able to go to the draft or even watch it on TV live to find out who wins the bet. The Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Toronto Raptors at the same time the Draft is set to start.
The Cavs can’t let Jaylon watch the start of the draft, but they are working on a plan to keep him updated on what’s happening.
“We’re going to make sure he gets the news somehow,”
head coach Kenny Atkinson said after practice on Wednesday. “I know it’s the playoffs and all, but that’s your family and your brother. So we’re going to get that to him.”

We’ll see where Jordyn ends up going in the draft. Many see him as the best wide receiver in this year’s draft class. ESPN’s latest mock draft has him landing in the fifth spot with the New York Giants. However, there’s speculation that he may fall down the board due to some injury concerns.
Although Jaylon doesn’t see a fall happening. He’s been steadfast in his belief that Jordyn is going to go high.
“JT has been telling me he’s a top-10 pick, so I’m going with that,” Atkinson said. “That would be awesome.”
Jaylon is expected to have a big role in Game 3 for the Cavs. Atkinson thinks that Tyson has played well in the minutes he’s gotten in the first two games of the opening round series and believes that he will have a breakout game. It’s not a matter of if, just a matter of when.
“I told him today he’s next up,” Atkinson said. “Max had that big game, core four had their big games. [Next] it’s going to be Jaylon Tyson. I can almost guarantee that he’s going to have one of those games.”
