For Jordyn, it turned out to be a good night to show up. Jaylon, the 6’6″ guard selected 20th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft out of California, was the lead scorer for Cleveland in the game. He stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists on 55.3% shooting from the field and 41.7% from three, finishing with a plus-8.
The Cavs won 113-109, their second straight victory, improving to 39-24 and holding onto fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.

On the season, Jaylon is averaging 13.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game on 50.3% from the field and 45.8% from three across 27.7 minutes. He has developed into a reliable high-minutes wing with 3-and-D versatility, exactly the kind of player a contending team needs coming off the bench.
As for Jordyn, he enters the 2026 NFL Draft as one of the most talked-about wide receiver prospects in years. The Arizona State Sun Devils wideout has drawn significant attention heading into April’s draft, and PFSN’s scouting report explains why.
PFSN’s NFL Mock Draft Simulator entered the 2026 cycle with Jordyn listed as their preliminary WR1, and he has held that standing. The report describes him as a player who blends the line between bigger catch-dominating WRs and smaller route-dominating ones.”
At his size, PFSN notes, “he’s an effortless accelerator, and a snappy and fluid short-area mover, with bristling foot quickness and elastic stride freedom that translates well both as a stem operator and in the RAC phase. He’s a composed downfield tracker who can make claustrophobic catches at high speeds…”
The one concern PFSN flags is durability: Jordyn never played through a full season at the collegiate level and carries a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL on his medical record from his time at Colorado.

PFSN notes the injury has not affected his mobility or fluidity as an athlete. The report concludes that if Jordyn can stay healthy, he is “arguably the most complete three-level threat in the 2026 NFL Draft.”
With the 2026 NFL Draft set for April 23, Jordyn’s evaluation is entering its most critical stretch. It will be interesting to see how the young wide receiver fares.
