Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 12 - Andrew Bogut (2012-16)
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 23rd of 28 players who wore the No. 12 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Andrew Bogut. After ending his college career at Utah, Bogut was picked up with the first overall selection of the 2005 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Melbourne, Australia native would play the first seven seasons of his pro career with the Bucks, ending when he was dealt to the Dubs in 2012. His stay with the team would span five seasons, coming to an end when he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2016.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Bogut wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game.

Can New York take one more step with Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns as their best players?
The most telling comment of the Eastern Conference Finals came from Pacers coach Rick Carlisle after Game 3, just after his team blew a 20-point lead and let the Knicks back in the series. Much of the Knicks' second-half surge that night came while All-NBA point guard Jalen Brunson was on the bench due to foul trouble. Carlisle said the comeback was due to the Knicks having their 'better defensive players' on the court. In what was a season to be celebrated, defense was always the issue in New York. Knicks players are on their way to Cancun today because their core players couldn't guard well enough when it came time to slow the space-and-pace Pacers. That all started with Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. For the entire Eastern Conference Finals, Brunson was -26 on a Knicks team that was -11 total. It begs the question: Can the Knicks take that next step with those two as their best players? One can argue that after this last series, OG Anunoby is the Knicks' second-best player. However you choose to rank the roster, the Knicks likely bring back their top seven players from this season have the taxpayer mid-level exception and other moves to add some talent. Can Leon Rose and the front office add a couple more quality rotation players who can defend, then get Thibodeau to trust them and play the bench next season? Successful Knicks season and missed opportunity This was the best Knicks season in decades — it was their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000 and Madison Square Garden was electric. Timothée Chalamet spent so much time with Ben Stiller that he might appear in the next season of 'Succession.' New York had the fifth most wins in the league and was one of the final four teams standing. This season was also a missed opportunity. The Knicks were healthy and slayed the Goliath of the East in Boston — a series where New York was the better team even before Jayson Tatum's injury. There was a path to the Finals and maybe a ring. That path should still be there next season. In a more wide-open East (with Boston's Tatum and Milwaukee's Damian Lillard expected to miss most, if not all, of the season due to significant injuries), the smart play may be to run it back, but will it be good enough? Knicks need depth, defense Brunson and Towns both made All-NBA and led New York to the fifth-best offense in the NBA this season. They needed that from the duo to cover up a mediocre defense where those two were part of the problem. The Knicks' defense improved in the second half of the season, particularly with Mitchell Robinson on the court, but it still had its limitations. After the All-Star break, New York had the 11th-ranked defense in the league, and it was 1.8 points per 100 possessions better than it had been before the break. Still, there were places for the Pacers and other teams to attack in the half court, and Indiana largely won this series on transition buckets where Knicks players simply did not get back. Thibodeau faces a paradox because Brunson and Towns drive the offense but are defensive targets. In Game 6, the Knicks' frustrations with Towns' defensive lapses were evident. Towns played in more drop coverage off pick-and-rolls, which may not have been the plan based on reactions from teammates. Frustration with Towns' defensive execution is not new to this series, it was an issue all season and reportedly led to a lot of team meetings. This is the first time the Knicks have been in the conference finals in more than two decades — that should be celebrated. Beyond that, Knicks fans can rightfully say that if their team doesn't blow Game 1 (giving up a 20-point lead and losing in overtime), they might win this series (or, at least they would be headed home for Game 7). However, the Pacers dictated the run of play, and the style of play through much of the Eastern Conference Finals. They were the better team. At the heart of that is Tyrese Haliburton's ability to get everyone around him involved and lift up his teammates in a way that the ball-dominant Brunson does not. Haliburton was the perfect conductor of a more ensemble cast, one that fits together beautifully. Knicks offensive diversity New York's offense with Brunson leading it is very station-to-station. It's predictable and involves a lot of pounding the ball before one of the stars tries to beat their guy. That works against most teams due to the talent Brunson and Towns (and Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges) possess, but against elite defenses and teams, it often falls short. The book on how to defend the Knicks has been in place for a couple of seasons: Use a wing to guard Towns and assign your center to Josh Hart — a non-threat as a 3-point shooter — and let him protect the paint on drives. That has stayed the strategy because it works. Against a team like the Pacers, with a good wing defender in Pascal Siakam and a solid rim protector in Myles Turner, that strategy is particularly effective. With the ball-dominant Brunson running the show, the Knicks' offense lacks diversity in its attack. Thibodeau had to lean into Landry Shamet against the Pacers because he could bring a little more offensive diversity — a guy who could be run off screens and score — that they had been lacking. Take a look at what some other NBA executives and front office personnel told ESPN. 'I love Brunson. But I'm not sure you can win with a ball-dominant player like him,' the West executive said. 'There's a ceiling for how far he can take you because you have to play the way he plays,' the scout said. 'Those guys need a specific player next to them.' Brunson is an elite point guard, but the Knicks need more shot creation around him, more players to take the burden off his shoulders. Bridges was supposed to be that, but Anunoby filled that role more in the playoffs. The Knicks front office needs to spend part of the summer finding players who can take over some of that shot creation and get others involved. Those players also need to be high-level defenders. Finding those guys is not easy. New York is close, but they have steps to take if they are going to beat the Pacers and Cavaliers next season (and maybe Boston), plus any other teams that make a bold offseason move (Toronto?). The Knicks cannot have a better +/- in a playoff series with their star off the court next season. We know what Brunson is and what he can do, but he and Towns need a little more help while this window is open.

Knicks demolished in second half as dream season ends with Game 6 dud
A dejected Jalen Brunson walks off the floor after the Knicks' 125-108 season-ending Game 6 loss to the Pacers on May 31, 2025. INDIANAPOLIS — It was set up perfectly for them. The Cavaliers bowed out early. The Celtics became depleted and were never going to recover after blowing those two 20-point leads at home. The Knicks then flushed that golden opportunity down the drain. Advertisement They blew Game 1, a loss that will be remembered among the very worst in franchise history, and they never recovered. Favored to reach the NBA Finals, the Knicks couldn't even push the Pacers in Game 6. Series-long issues — transition defense, turnovers and slowing down Pascal Siakam — were among the reasons Indiana cruised to a 125-108 rout Saturday night at boisterous Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Above those were Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks' two All-NBA talents, coming up small in a big spot. Their best was needed, and they didn't come close to providing it. Their defensive shortcomings are one thing, and they were clear throughout this series, but neither was close to good enough on the offensive end Saturday night. Advertisement 'Not much to be said. We knew we kind of gave this one away,' Josh Hart said. 'You can't start 0-2, especially losing two at home. You can't give away games in the playoffs.' A dejected Jalen Brunson walks off the floor after the Knicks' 125-108 season-ending Game 6 loss to the Pacers on May 31, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Brunson committed five of the Knicks' 18 turnovers, and shot 8-of-18 from the field. Towns had an empty 22 and 14 rebounds. OG Anunoby (24 points) was the Knicks' best player. When it mattered, the Knicks couldn't slow down the Pacers.

Charles Wenzelberg They couldn't do it late in Game 1, and they couldn't come close in Game 4 or Game 6. After piling up 130 points Tuesday in this building, the Pacers shot a blistering 54 percent from the field, made 17-of-33 3-point attempts and had six players in double figures. Advertisement Siakam (31 points), the series MVP, was the best big man in the series. Tyrese Haliburton (21 points and 14 assists) was the best guard. 'There were stretches where we played very good defense and stretches where we didn't,' coach Tom Thibodeau said. 'Once we dig into it and look at: Was it our defense, or was it our turnovers? Probably both.' OG Anunoby wears a dejected expression after the Knicks' season-ending Game 6 loss to the Pacers.

Charles Wenzelberg And so, the Knicks now head into the offseason in disappointing fashion, despite reaching the conference finals for the first time in 25 years. For the second straight year, the Pacers ended their season. At least last year, the Knicks could point to injuries. They were healthy this spring. It is worth wondering if they can get past this point led by Towns and Brunson, two defensively challenged players. Advertisement 'It hurts to not bring an opportunity to the city for a championship,' Towns said. 'We got a bunch of great guys in that locker room, and we hope to put ourselves in this position again.' The Knicks were fortunate to trail by four at halftime. Their offensive stars, Brunson and Towns, shot a combined 7-of-20 from the field. Bridges and Anunoby were carrying them.

The Pacers opened the third quarter on a 9-0 run. It started with four empty trips by the Knicks, and Indiana took advantage. The lead ballooned to 13 in a hurry and grew to 15 after a Thomas Bryant 3-pointer. Advertisement 'Third quarter, I think it's been a lot of third quarters, them coming out with a lot more energy than us, playing harder than us,' Mikal Bridges said. The Knicks responded with eight points in a row. They had momentum and possession. But then Bridges lost the ball, leading to an Aaron Nesmith dunk. Soon, the lead was 14 again. Soon, the offseason had arrived. There would be no Game 7 at the Garden on Monday night. No miracle comeback after three of them this postseason. 'It sucks, man, simple as that,' Brunson said. 'It sucks.'
