The Cavaliers entered the draft (which was two days instead of one like it had been since the NBA draft was shortened down to two rounds back in 1989) with just one first-round pick.[5] On the first night of the draft, with their only pick in the draft, the Cavaliers would select shooting guard Jaylon Tyson from the University of California.
