​The Golden State Warriors have built their rosters through a wide range of methods over the years, but few have proved as consistently fruitful as the NBA draft. More than anything else, the franchise’s most gifted players to wear the Warriors uniform have arrived in Golden State either by being selected in the annual draft or through trades conducted on the same night. The Warriors have recruited many of their key stars via the draft, yet they have also landed a number of notable talents through other routes. From small colleges to powerhouse programs, these alumni have made meaningful contributions to the team’s lineup over the years. Consequently, we decided to examine which Dubs players came from which schools across the decades.
So, without further ado, let’s examine every player who has been drafted by the Warriors from NYU.
Draft history highlights include selections such as a 1950 NBA Draft pick in the 9th round (3rd pick, 99th overall), and a note that the player spent three seasons at NYU but did not ultimately make the Warriors’ roster. There is also reference to a 1964 NBA Draft selection in the 1st round (7th pick, 7th overall), with three NYU seasons and one season played with the Warriors.
