For right now and in the future, Jackson-Davis is a major piece for a Warriors franchise trying to extend its dynasty. Like many draft steal stories, Jackson-Davis’ journey to Golden State took a healthy dash of serendipity. But he’s now with a team that perfectly complements his skillset — and vice versa — and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
But Jackson-Davis decided to return to Indiana to play for Mike Woodson. Playing a second year in Woodson’s pro-style system, Jackson-Davis became a consensus All-American.
