Golden State Warriors: Top 10 NBA Draft picks in franchise history

10. Mitch Richmond (SG) — No. 5 pick in 1988 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Warriors):  234 GP, 22.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.3 STL, 0.3 BLK, 3.0 TOV, 48.6 FG%, 35.7 3P%, 84.0 FT%

Leading off our list is the “M” from the fabled Run TMC Warriors of the early ’90s, Mitch Richmond.

Golden State Warriors

The 6’5″ shooting guard enjoyed a successful 14-year career — the first three seasons of which took place in Golden State. Over the span of his playing days, Richmond made six All-Star teams, three All-NBA Second Teams, two All-NBA Third Teams and won a title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2002.

For his career, the former Kansas State Wildcat averaged 21.0, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game with a healthy 55.7 True Shooting Percentage. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014.

Even though almost all of his accolades came after his Warriors days, his contributions to the franchise as a member of Run TMC are remembered to this day. He, along with two other guys coming up on our countdown, were one of the greatest scoring trios in league history.

During their three seasons together, the Run TMC Dubs ranked fourth, first and second overall in points per game, while placing in the top two in pace every year. They were fast, they were exciting and most of all, they were memorable.

For that, Richmond made the cut over guys like Ellis, Richardson and Attles. (It didn’t hurt that he was simply a better player than them, too.)
