The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the first of 12 players who wore the No. 8 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Alec Burks. After ending his college career at Colorado, Burks was picked up with the 12th overall selection of the 2011 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.
The Grandview, Missouri native would play parts of the first 8 seasons of his pro career with the Jazz. He would also have stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Sacramento Kings before he'd sign with the Dubs in 2019. His stay with the team would span part of a single season before he'd be dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2020.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Burks wore only jersey No. 8 and put up 16.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.
