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 fourth of four players who wore the No. 13 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Hall of Fame Golden State wing alum Sarunas Marciulionis. After starting his pro career abroad, Marciulionis was picked up with the 127th overall selection (there were many more rounds in that era of the draft) of the 1987 NBA draft by the Dubs.
The Kaunas, Lithuania native would play the first four seasons of his pro career with Golden State, coming to an end when he was dealt to the Seattle SuperSonics in 1994.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Marciulionis wore only jersey No. 13 and put up 14.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.
