Men's Basketball

Former UMass men's basketball star Stephane Lasme signed with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, according to NBA.com. The terms of the deal were not yet announced, per team policy.
The 24-year-old forward was taken in the second round (46th overall) of the 2007 NBA Draft. With the recent buyout of center Adonal Foyle's contract, the Warriors both had room and the desire to have Lasme on the roster.
Lasme was named both the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in his fourth and final season at UMass. He finished 2006 second in the country in blocks, and recorded four triple doubles -- becoming just the third player in NCAA history to accomplish that feat.
The 6-foot-8 Lasme is a native of Gabon, and will wear the #12 for the Warriors. He donned the number 13 for the Maroon and White.
