4. Rick Barry

Rick Barry currently ranks second on the Warriors’ all-time scoring list and third in points per game.

Barry scored 25.6 points per game during his eight seasons as a Warrior while shooting 44.9% from the floor.

Like Chris Mullin, Barry was probably ahead of his time. He only played a couple of seasons with a three-point line, but Barry proved he could’ve been a pretty good outside shooter during those years.

He hit 30.8% of his three-pointers on 3 attempts per game while playing with the New York Nets of the ABA in 1971-72, and he sunk 33% of his threes on 3.1 attempts per game in the final year of his career in Houston.

Barry still managed to score over 30 points per game twice with the Warriors, including a league-leading 35.6 in 1966-67 and 30.6 in the Warriors’ championship season of 1974-75.

However, those numbers could’ve been even more insane if Barry was playing in today’s game with his excellent outside shot.
