Golden State Warriors Sign Former Lottery Pick
He hasn't played an NBA game in two years, but the former lottery pick of the Los Angeles Clippers has had a couple of nice years in the G League, and now Jerome Robinson is getting another shot to strut his stuff for the Golden State Warriors, signing a training camp deal.
Free agent G Jerome Robinson has agreed to a training camp deal with the Golden State Warriors, sources tell ESPN. A former lottery pick with the Clippers, Robinson played with Santa Cruz of G League the past two years and will compete for an open roster spot with Golden State.

Robinson was the 13th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, but hasn't played a game in the league since the 2020-21 season, when he got into 17 games with the Washington Wizards.
Overall, in 113 NBA games over three seasons, the 6'4" shooting guard has averaged 4.5 points and 1.2 assists.
In the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors last season, he averaged 14.8 points, 4.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 36% from distance. The year before, he averaged 20 points along with four rebounds and four assists.
Warriors coaches are familiar with Robinson's game as he also had a training camp contract last season, and played in multiple preseason contests. But he'll be facing stiff competition at camp this year, as the G League's Most Improved Player, 22-year-old Lester Quinones will also be looking to grab a shooting guard spot off the bench coming out of camp. He averaged 21.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists this past season to win the award.
