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 eighth of 28 players who wore the No. 12 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State wing alum Fred LaCour. After ending his college career at San Frnacisco, LaCour was picked up with the 22nd overall selection of the 1960 NBA draft by the (then) St. Louis (now, Atlanta) Hawks.
The San Francisco, California native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Hawks before he signed with the Dubs in free agency in 1963. His stay with the team would span just 16 games, his last in the league.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, LaCour wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 4.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
