Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 19 - Pat Dunn (1956-57)
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 eighth of 13 players who wore the No. 19 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State guard alum Pat Dunn. After ending his college career at Utah State, Dunn was picked up with the 44th overall selection of the 1956 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.
The Chicago, Illinois native did not make the team, and instead signed with the Dubs for his sole season in the league.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Dunn wore only jersey No. 19 and put up 2.5 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.

‘Sooner than later': ESPN's Tim Legler sees likely superstar in Houston's Amen Thompson
'He's going to be a superstar in this league, I believe it,' ESPN's Tim Legler says of rising Rockets star Amen Thompson. 'And he's going to get there sooner than later.' Earlier this spring, the Houston Rockets didn't win the decisive Game 7 of their best-of-seven, first-round playoff series versus the Golden State Warriors. But for a relatively young team featuring numerous high draft picks from recent years, the Rockets did learn a lot about what they're made of. Specifically, as ESPN analyst Tim Legler pointed out on the ALL NBA Podcast, they learned quite a bit about rising star Amen Thompson. Legler's observations: I have such an indelible memory of the end of the year, that Game 7 against Golden State. The fact that Amen Thompson was more comfortable than any player on the floor, practically, outside of (Steph) Curry and (Jimmy) Butler, said a lot to me. He did everything in that game, with all that pressure. He's going to be a superstar in this league, I believe it. And he's going to get there sooner than later. To Legler's point, Thompson was magnificent in Game 7. In 37 minutes, the 22-year-old finished with 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting (56.3%) while also grabbing 9 rebounds and dishing out 3 assists. After a relatively slow start to the playoffs, perhaps due to some jitters in his first career appearance, Thompson was a force over the final four games — averaging 20.0 points (54.7% FG), 7.8 rebounds, 2.5 steals, 2.5 assists, and 1.0 blocks. The versatile 6-foot-7 guard/forward was also dynamic on defense, as shown in the NBA All-Defensive First Team honor that Thompson received after the season. While much of the offseason talk in Houston has surrounded the arrival of Kevin Durant, it's worth emphasizing that he's not the only star player on the 2025-26 Rockets. Big man Alperen Sengun was an All-Star last season, and it's very possible that Thompson could be joining that tier in the near future. Best of all, both are 23 or younger, which gives them ample room to continue getting better over the months and years ahead.

How The Blazers Have Optimized Scoot Henderson's Development Path
As Scoot Henderson enters his third NBA season, he's got both experience to lean on, and a guy to fall back on in Deni Avdija. Help on both sides of the floor With the acquisitions of Jrue Holiday and Damian Lillard, Henderson now has quite possibly the best teachers to lean on in the coming season. Holiday, one of the best perimeter defenders in league over the past decade, has a unique understanding of playing angles, reading opposing offenses, and he's sublime in identifying patterns. Henderson stands to gain a significant bump in defensive knowledge by studying under Holiday, and peppering him with questions about - especially - pick and roll coverages. On the other side of the floor, Henderson can lean on Lillard, arguably the best player in Blazers history, who has now come back to the organization after two seasons in Milwaukee. Lillard, who won't play this season due to an Achilles tear, has always been a masterful offensive player, one especially potent at spacing the floor, and drawing fouls. Henderson shares a similar physical build as Lillard, and while the youngster is at least a few levels below the former All-Star in terms of shooting prowess, if there's anyone who can provide him with a sharper understanding of offensive execution, it's Lillard. The Deni Avdija security blanket It's no secret that Avdija had a tremendous finish to last season, averaging almost 20 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists over the last 20 games of the season. The 6'9 forward can consistently create his own shot, be that going to the rim, or from the outside, and his playmaking took a noticeable jump forward, allowing him to absorb plenty of on-ball possessions. This is a huge benefit to Henderson, who will have games where he still looks raw, young, and untested. In those situations, he can scale up his defense, and lean into being more of a playmaker, courtesy of Holiday and Lillard. Well, that's the idea anyway. The Blazers should be an interesting team to track this season, as they have a large portion of intriguing players that could turn them into a much-improved squad, should most of them begin to develop at a higher rate.

Paul Pierce On Lakers' Ceiling With Deandre Ayton: ‘Second Round At Best'
Paul Pierce On Lakers' Ceiling With Deandre Ayton: 'Second Round At Best' originally appeared on Fadeaway World. In the aftermath of the Deandre Ayton trade, Lakers fans are feeling pretty good about their chances to make a run next season. NBA legend Paul Pierce, however, is unconvinced that Ayton will make a significant difference. According to Pierce, the Lakers are only a second-round playoff team as presently constructed. "He definitely fills a need for the Lakers, but I'm not sure if he's the answer in winning a championship," said Pierce on 'Speak.' "If you would have told me they're getting the Joker or Antetokounmpo, then I would have been like 'Oh they should be the favorites' but since they're still trying to find a guy who is still trying to find his way in the NBA, he's been on multiple teams, this being his third team in six years being the number one pick and not really finding a home. I'm not sure how much he pushes the needle. So what's the Lakers' ceiling with Deandre Ayton? I think they're still in need of more athleticism and more defense on the perimeter. I think they're a second-round ceiling." Everything changed for the Lakers after the acquisition of Luka Doncic in February. The deal simultaneously shifted the team's timeline and their balance of power. Overnight, the Lakers became Luka's team, and Rob Pelinka scrambled to get him a worthy center. It wasn't until the acquisition of Deandre Ayton this July that the Lakers finally found their man. As a former No. 1 overall pick, Ayton has the potential to change the entire trajectory of the Lakers, and he's probably one of the most naturally gifted centers that Luka will get to play with. With career averages of 16.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game, he has solid stats and great size with the potential to dominate games under the rim. Since his arrival in Los Angeles, he has shown a renewed dedication to winning as JJ Redick, LeBron James, and Luka Doncic have vowed to bring out the best in him. The only problem is that Ayton has a long history of disappointment. Despite carrying big expectations out of college (and after the draft), he failed to get it done in Phoenix and left on bad terms with the organization after a brutal playoff defeat at the hands of the Nuggets. From the start, critics recognized his poor work ethic, weak defensive effort, and lack of focus from game to game. Things only got worse once he was traded to the Trail Blazers. Even on a team with no pressure to succeed, Ayton couldn't find his place. As his stats dipped on the court, his immaturity in the locker room was driving teammates away, and it ultimately led to his exit from the franchise after just two seasons. If the Lakers are going to compete with the likes of the Nuggets, Timberwolves, and Thunder, they'll need more than raw talent—they'll need buy-in, maturity, and defensive grit from their big man. Paul Pierce isn't the only one questioning whether Ayton can deliver that. For now, the pressure is on. Ayton has another fresh start and a chance to change the narrative. The only question is, will he?This story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
