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.

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.
