Warriors summer league roster features five NBA first-round picks

Center Damian Jones and new backup point guard Jacob Evans are among the five first-round NBA draft picks on the Warriors summer league roster the team announced Wednesday.

Sharp-shooting guard Jimmer Fredette, taken one spot ahead of Klay Thompson in the 2011 NBA draft, will get an extended look from the Warriors this summer beginning Monday in Sacramento, where he began his career.

Other first-round picks on the 16-man roster include Michigan’s Jordan Poole, the Warriors’ top pick last week, and 23-year-old swingman Malachi Richardson, the Hornets’ No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft.
