The Warriors were unable to buy a second-round pick in Thursday night’s draft, but that didn’t stop them from signing another player in addition to No. 28 overall pick Jacob Evans.
All reports indicated that the Warriors’ were targeting a two-way wing with No. 28 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. They selected just that on Thursday, taking 6-foot-6 shooting guard / small forward Jacob Evans out of Cincinnati.
The Warriors selected a two-way wing in the first round of the NBA Draft on Thursday, taking Cincinnati’s Jacob Evans with the 28th overall pick. Evans fits the mold of the long-armed athletic type that general manager Bob Myers has coveted over the years. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard has a 6-foot-9 wingspan and projects as a good defender at the NBA level.
The center partly credits his NBA Finals performance, and specifically his ability to guard LeBron James on switches, to a decision he made last offseason: converting to veganism.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver believes the back-to-back NBA Champion Golden State Warriors should be celebrated for the way they’ve constructed their roster.
