Small Forward, 6’6”, #55

Chris Gatling
Power Forward/Center, 6’10”, #25
1991-1996
Known as “the Energizer”, he was a shot-blocker and finisher at the rim. He played during the first Don Nelson run as head coach with Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway. His career highlights include blocking Michael Jordan, and even Charles Barkley a few times.
Derek Fisher
Point Guard/Shooting Guard, 6’1”, #4
2004-2006
We all know about his success with the Lakers, but it’s easy to forget he was a Warrior for two years. A great leader, catch-and-shoot three point shooter and finisher at the rim, he averaged 11.9 and 13.3 ppg mostly coming off the bench.
Kent Bazemore
Shooting Guard/Small Forward, 6’5″, #20
2012-2014
Best known for his bench antics, Baze made himself famous on the Warriors sideline and played well in limited minutes as a defensive specialist during the Mark Jackson era. He would go on to make big money with limited success on the Hawks, until being traded this offseason to the Portland Trailblazers.
