Warriors Draft Late-Bloomer Lajae Jones

Golden State Warriors snagged Lajae Jones, a 67 guard from Florida State, with the 54th pick in the second round—hoping he’ll add much-needed wing depth. Jones, a lefty shooter who averaged 12+ points and 5+ rebounds, bounced around colleges before starring at FSU and winning a national title at Barton. His dad was a former NBA player. This late-draft gamble mirrors past Warriors hits like Draymond Green and Monta Ellis. They also took Yaxel Lendeborg in the first round, signaling a rebuild. Both rookies are expected to see significant minutes next season. They’ll debut at a press conference Friday and play in the California Classic starting July 3rd—watch to see if they can make an immediate impact.
