Warriors may not need another big with Trayce Jackson-Davis in tow

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:23:13 GMT

The Warriors moved to 0-5 in Las Vegas Summer League, but the game looked to be slowing down for rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis in his second game. And that bodes well for his chances to earn some minutes as Golden State’s fourth big option.Jackson-Davis recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds, two assists and, notably, two blocks and two steals in the Warriors’ 108-101 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday afternoon.Not shown in his low assist count was his strong feel for making the extra pass — a handful of quick-thinking and athletic baseline passes and in the two-man game showed the kind of vision that could earn him minutes with the big league team.The Warriors have two roster spots and a pair of two-way spots open if the Warriors keep Lester Quinones in that third two-way spot. Jacskon-Davis’ performance may make the Warriors hesitate to fill one of those 15-man spots with another center.The Warriors could, in theory, sign a player such ...
