Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 15 - Latrell Sprewell (1992-99)
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 21st of 27 players who wore the No. 15 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Latrell Sprewell. After ending his college career at Alabama, Sprewell was picked up with the 24th overall selection of the 1992 NBA draft by the Warriors.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native would play the first six seasons of his pro career with the Dubs before he was dealt to the New York Knicks in 1999.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Sprewell wore only jersey No. 15 and put up 20.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
