Coming into Thursday's Draft, the Warriors had a few specific characteristics in mind for the player they hoped to select with the 28th overall pick. A day later, it appears they checked off each of those boxes.
"He's kind of the modern NBA wing," said Bob Myers in speaking of Jacob Evans at his post-Draft press conference. "Versatile, tough and high-character kid. So we're thrilled."
Perhaps that shouldn't come as a shock, considering that the phone call Evans received on Thursday night notifying him that he'd been selected by Golden State at the tail end of the first round was not his first interaction with the Warriors.
