19. Jason Richardson

Another top-five pick, Richardson was drafted in the 2001 NBA Draft. He brought a swagger to this Warriors team that had been missing for a few seasons. He immediately came in and started 75 games, scoring 14.4 points per game.

Richardson, throughout his six seasons in Golden State, led them to one playoff trip and lost in the second round. However, his first-round matchup was one for the ages, defeating the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks in six games. Richardson, Baron Davis, and Stephen Jackson led the team.

Richardson left after that season, signing with Charlotte, but he left his mark in the Bay Area. Averaging double figures in six seasons and 20-plus in two, Richardson took his game to new heights and became one of the most feared three-point shooters in the league.

The energy and passion that the team had when Richardson came to the Bay were unmatched for that time and helped spark the next wave of Warrior basketball.
