Warriors' 54th pick stashes overseas with Trieste for now

Golden State's second-round pick Lajae Jones has signed with Pallacanestro Trieste of Italy's Serie A, according to Sportando's Emiliano Carchia.

The Warriors keep his NBA rights while he develops abroad as a draft-and-stash. The move comes after Golden State's expected two-way signing of Graham Ike left little room for Jones on the roster this season.
