Lajae Jones to Warriors

Lajae Jones, Florida State’s breakout wing, is headed to the Golden State Warriors with the 54th overall pick in the NBA Draft — a historic first-year win for head coach Luke Loucks, who’s already proving he can develop NBA talent faster than anyone expected. Jones averaged over 12 points and 5 rebounds, tied a program record with 10 threes in a game, and showed marked improvement in his final 14 outings. With Loucks’ Warriors ties and Jones’ shooting versatility, this pick fits perfectly. His journey from Tarleton State to Tallahassee to the Bay Area is now complete — and with another player expected to sign a two-way contract, Loucks’ vision for the program is already taking flight.
