The Warriors have officially signed small forward Anthony Lamb and shooting guard Ty Jerome, the team announced in a pair of press releases.
Lamb, 24, is 6-foot-6 and appeared in two games with Spurs last season, as well as 24 with the Rockets the season before that as a rookie. He has also spent time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the G League.
As a rookie in Houston, Lamb averaged 5.5 points and 2.9 rebounds. He will be competing for a roster spot with the Warriors, The Athletic’s Shams Charania noted. More likely, Lamb will head back to the G League, at least part of the time, with the Santa Cruz Warriors.
Jerome was waived by the Rockets immediately following the recent trade with the Thunder. He is likely to compete for a two-way spot with the Warriors, or perhaps a spot on the 15-man roster.
Jerome, 25, is 6-foot-5 and appeared in 48 games with the Thunder last season, averaging 7.1 points and 2.3 assists, shooting 38 percent from the field. He averaged 10.7 points the year before that with Oklahoma City, after starting his NBA career with the Suns.
Both Lamb and Jerome likely received Exhibit 10 training camp offers, so they very well could be headed to the G League. Exhibit 10 deals count toward the camp roster of 20, but not the regular-season roster (unless, of course, the player is signed to a standard contract).
