Tyson went much higher than many expected him to, but Tigers coach Brad Brownell wasn’t surprised. Brownell had heard rumblings leading up to the draft that teams were high on Tyson.
“We did think he was going to get picked. We had good intel that there were a couple of teams that liked him and his agent had told us that more than likely it was going to happen,” Brownell told On3. “It seemed like he was starting to move up. The closer it got to the draft, it was like, ‘Man, at first we were thinking it might be around 50 or whatnot.’ Then you started hearing it might be in the 40s or possibly even in the 30s.”
Tyson did end up going in the 30s, landing with the NBA champion Denver Nuggets.
