Ty Jerome talks to NBC Sports Bay Area about his two-way contract not being converted, feeling at home with the Warriors and more.
before their March 17 game in Atlanta, giving him their 15th and final roster spot. Lester Quinones was promoted from the G League as the Warriors' second two-way contract, and Jerome's status remained the same.
What felt obvious to the outside felt the same to Jerome. Warriors coach Steve Kerr was honest with Jerome, as was general manager Bob Myers. Even if they weren't, Jerome didn't have a blind eye to the Warriors' roster construction. On the court, he kept tunnel vision the best he could. Instead, they each became main fixtures off the bench for myriad reasons. Jerome currently is four games behind his career high of 48 for a season in his four-year career. Before this season, Lamb had played 26 total games in the NBA over the last three years. He played just two last season with the Houston Rockets.
The Rockets waived him on Oct. 1, paving the way for the Warriors to bring him in three days later. His career has been full of uncertainties, going up and down between the G League and NBA while moving homes more than once, too. Finally, he felt at home with the Warriors. "Of course not," he said."No, these guys and Steve and all the coaches, even with the decision they've made, they've still gone out of their way. Steve goes out of his way to communicate with me about certain things and just stuff that he doesn't have to do. He does more than he has to do with me.
With the possibility of playing time in the Warriors' final three regular-season contests, Jerome thus far is averaging 7.0 points and 3.1 assists in 18.5 minutes per game. He's shooting a career-high 48.8 percent overall and 38.9 percent on 3-pointers -- the second-best mark of his career -- while also making a career-best 92.7 percent of his free-throw attempts.
