The Top 30 Golden State Warriors players in franchise history (Updated 2023)
24. Jamaal Wilkes
The Warriors’ 11th pick in the 1974 NBA Draft, Wilkes played three seasons with the team. It’s tough to gauge Wilkes’ impact, but he comes in above the few before because of his success with Golden State.
Wilkes was a key contributor to the 1975 championship team. Playing in all 82 games in two of his three seasons, Wilkes was also an iron man. Let’s not downplay his skill though; Wilkes averaged 16.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.
The 6-foot-6 power forward was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012 after going on to average three 20-plus points per game seasons with the Lakers, where he accrued two more All-Star appearances.
Wilkes ended his career with three All-Star appearances and three NBA Championships. Sadly, just one was with the Warriors. Combining his numbers and titles, Wilkes is easily a top-25 player in Golden State’s history.
