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 24th of 27 players who wore the No. 15 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State big man alum Andris Biedrins. After starting his pro career abroad, Biedrins was picked up with the 11th overall selection of the 2004 NBA draft by the Warriors.
The Riga, Latvia native would play the first nine seasons of his pro career with the Warriors, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Utah Jazz in 2013.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Biedrins wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 6.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game.
