Did the Warriors Find a Steal With LaJae Jones?

Dub Nation, meet the newest addition to the Golden State Warriors roster. In this exclusive sit-down, second-round pick LaJae Jones opens up about his journey from Florida State to the Bay, what he brings to the floor, and what it actually felt like hearing his name called on draft night. LaJae breaks down his game as a versatile two-way guard — a knockdown shooter who can also rebound and defend multiple positions, something that doesn't always show up on a stat sheet. He gets candid about why his shooting numbers dipped in his final college season, the jump in competition level once he got to a power conference, and why he believes once things "click," he can be a high-level shooter at the next level. We also dig into his basketball roots — growing up a die-hard Kobe and Lakers fan, and what it means to now be on the same roster as the player who changed the way the league plays the game. Plus, he shares his early impressions of his new rookie teammate, his goals for his first NBA training camp, and what Bay Area fans should expect from him this summer. Topics discussed include: His scouting report on his own game heading into the NBA Why his shooting slipped this past season and how he plans to fix it Going from a Kobe-worshipping kid to playing alongside Steph Curry His path through four college programs in four years His goals for his rookie season and beyond Do you think the Warriors found a steal in the second round?
