Tyus is an American-Israeli who in the past year completed the process of his conversion to Judaism, and was an important part of the reason for the Israeli National Team's success last year.  Tyus is a strong and athletic power forward who can also play at the center position, and is a dominating rebounder and a skilled finisher under the basket.

Tyus, who played for four years at the University of Florida, was introduced to Judaism by his roommate and went on to convert to the religion, along with his wife who has Jewish roots. Tyus played for the Gators from 2007-2011, and in his final season reached the NCAA quarterfinals. In his best year (2008-09), Tyus reached averages of 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. For a brief time during 2010 he played alongside Nimrod Tishman, a graduate of Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth team.

Tyus's first professional team was Maccabi Ashdod in 2011-12, where he finished with averages of 13.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks. That year he was named the Sixth Man of the Israeli League, and together with Ashdod reached the Israeli Championship final, where they lost to Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv.

Last season Tyus played for Italian team Pallacanestro Cant?. In the Euroleague Tyus averaged 8.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1 block per game. In the Italian League, his stats included averages of 9.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, and a shooting average of 67% from the field. Tyus led Cant? to the Italian League semifinals, where they lost to Virtus Roma after going the full seven games.

Tyus and Cant? won the Italian Supercup in 2012, and he also played in the Italian League's All-Star game. Alex played a major role in the Israeli National Team's qualification for the European Championships of 2013, with fantastic averages in the qualifying round (10 games) of 12.6 points (73% shooting from the field!), 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game for the blue and white.
