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 23 players who wore the No. 11 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward alum Zarko Cabarkapa. After starting his pro career abroad, Cabarkapa was picked up with the 17th overall selection of the 2003 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns.
The Zrenjanin, Serbia native would play parts of the first two seasons of his pro career with the Suns before he was dealt to the Dubs in 2005. His stay with the team would span parts of two seasons before he’d return to Europe.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Cabarkapa wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 4.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
