<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/hunter-tyson-48649/">Hunter Tyson</a> is going from one of the essential pieces of <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/clemson-tigers/">Clemson</a>‘s roster to the NBA, where he’ll look to make a name for himself.



The former Tigers star forward was selected with the No. 37 overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. His game opened up eyes playing within the Atlantic Coast Conference, and now he’ll look to do the same at the next level.



While at Clemson, Tyson continually improved his game over five seasons with the Tigers, having his best season in 2022-2023. The star forward averaged 15.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game on a team that was arguably one of the biggest snubs of the 2023 Men’s NCAA Tournament.



Now, Hunter Tyson will look to carry the lessons he learned at Clemson with him throughout his basketball career, where he’ll hope to improve his game and stay awhile in the NBA.



Hunter Tyson is a former four-star recruit as a member of the 2018 recruiting cycle out of Piedmont Community Charter (NC), who was the No. 195 overall recruit in the nation at the time, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/basketball/2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Moreover, RotoWire took a crack at theorizing how each 2023 NBA Draft prospect will look at the next level, and here’s how they believe former Clemson forward Hunter Tyson will look in the Association.



“Tyson projects as primarily a stretch four in the NBA, but he’s capable of pump-faking and driving to make plays,” <a href="https://www.nba.com/draft/2023/prospects/hunter-tyson">read RotoWire‘s analysis of the former Clemson star</a>. “He’ll do more than just stand in the corners, though, as he’ll be active without the ball, setting screens or making hard cuts. He showed off some post ability at Clemson. His biggest weakness may be trying to cover quicker NBA forwards on defense.



“… NBA comparisons to Tyson may vary based on how a team decides to deploy him — how much they want him on the perimeter versus working on the interior. Regardless, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Mirotic have similar skillsets and bodies. Tyson will presumably have to fight for an NBA roster spot as a rookie, and Summer League could be crucial. He may develop into a solid bench piece.”



That’s a pretty swell compliment for Tyson, who could elevate and become an indisputable piece for a franchise at the NBA level. He’ll look to make good on RotoWire‘s predictions as he begins his professional career moving forward.
