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 fourth of nine players who wore the No. 17 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward alum Dave Fedor. After ending his college career at Florida State, Fedor was picked up with the 25th overall selection of the 1962 NBA draft by the (then) San Francisco (now, Golden State) Warriors.
The Zephyr Hills, Florida native played his sole season in the league with the Dubs, retiring from the NBA as a player.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Fedor wore only jersey No. 17 and put up 0.9 points per game.
