A breakout season could be on the verge for Tyson. The large wing shot the ball exceptionally well against Langston Hughes, swooshing three threes to go along with a putback to finish with 11 points and 4 rebounds.

In transition, he’s explosive and looks to finish everything above the rim, bringing energy with emphatic two-hand dunks that can completely shift momentum. What stands out most is his aggressive scoring mentality and how hard he pressures defenses once he gets moving toward the basket. He embraces contact, attacks gaps with confidence, and plays with the kind of physicality that makes him tough to contain in the open floor. Matta also has solid touch from the perimeter, giving him the ability to keep defenders honest and making him more than just a slasher. As he continues to develop and get healthy, the tools are there for him to become one of the best-kept secrets in the 2028 class.
