Rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis is presenting as one of the more intriguing storylines heading into Golden State Warriors’ training camp, which in itself is unusual for someone taken with the penultimate pick of the NBA Draft.
The Warriors acquired the rights to Jackson-Davis on draft night in June, sending Patrick Baldwin Jr. to the Washington Wizards for the 57th overall pick. The move was the final piece to one of the biggest trades in recent franchise history, with Jordan Poole moved as part of a package for 12-time All-Star Chris Paul.
