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 guard alum Monta Ellis. After ending his high school career, Ellis made the jump directly to the NBA, going 40th overall in the 2005 draft to the Dubs.
His stay with the team would span parts of 7 seasons, ending when Golden State dealt him to the Milwaukee Bucks in 2012.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Ellis wore only jersey No. 8 and put up 19.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
