Summary
Golden State’s second-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft was Lajae Jones, a dynamic wing from Florida State with Israeli passport eligibility — opening the door for a savvy draft-and-stash strategy. Despite missing out on top target Henri Veesaar, Jones brings elite defense, energy, and scoring upside, averaging over 12 points and nearly 6 rebounds last season while shooting 32% from three. With improved cap flexibility, the Warriors now have real options: stash him overseas for development, or sign him to a two-way deal — a luxury they haven’t had in years.
