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 forward alum Tom Gugliotta. After ending his college career at NC State, Gugliotta was picked up with the sixth overall selection of the 1992 NBA draft by the (then) Washington Bullets (now, Wizards).
The Huntington Station, New York native would play parts of the first 3 seasons of his pro career with Washington, ending when he was traded to the Dubs in 1994. His stay with the team would span parts of a single season, ending when he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1995.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Gugliotta wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 10.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.
