Biography

Zo Tyson is a 6′9″ forward with impressive size and rangy athleticism that make him a versatile force on both ends of the floor. He combines quick feet and fluid mobility with strength, allowing him to finish above the rim, rebound aggressively, and run the court in transition. Offensively, Tyson stretches defenses with a developing mid-range and occasional three-point shot, while also displaying the footwork and physicality to score in the post. Defensively, he leverages his length, instincts, and mobility to guard multiple positions, contest shots, and protect the rim. His high energy, strong motor, and all-around skill set make him a valuable positionless forward capable of impacting the game in numerous ways.
