Former Indiana star Trayce Jackson-Davis begins his NBA career with the Golden State Warriors in just one month. Despite his late second-round draft selection, he could be in line for minutes with the Warriors, as head coach Steve Kerr said Jackson-Davis, “plays the way we like to play.”
Updated September 28, 2023 2:48 PMBLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Some players picked late in the second round never find their way into an NBA rotation, but Trayce Jackson-Davis could be an outlier.
But Warriors head coach Steve Kerr sees this experience as a plus for Jackson-Davis, who graduated Indiana as the school's all-time leader in rebounds and blocked shots. Across four years, Jackson-Davis started 126 games, was a four-time All-Big Ten player, two-time Big Ten All-Defense and a consensus first-team All-American as a senior.
Not only does Jackson-Davis carry a loaded college resume to Golden State, Kerr believes he fits their style. And for late second-round draft picks like Jackson-Davis, fit can ultimately be more important for a long-term career than draft placement. Looney and Green are the two most likely Warriors to fill this role, as they've each been on the team for eight-plus seasons. But Green more often plays a forward-like position than he does center. Golden State likes to save their lineups with Green at center for high leverage situations in the playoffs. More often, Green is starting next to Looney, along with Curry, Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.
