Golden State Warriors: Top 10 NBA Draft picks in franchise history
By Frank Urbina
6. Chris Mullin (SG/SF) — No. 7 pick in 1985 NBA Draft
Career stats (with the Warriors): 787 GP, 20.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.7 STL, 0.6 BLK, 2.7 TOV, 51.4 FG%, 36.6 3P%, 86.2 FT%
The man who completes our Run TMC triad, the all-important “C” of the acronym, is Chris Mullin, who checks in at No. 6 on our list.
The southpaw sharpshooter spent the first 12 years of his career in Golden State, making five All-Star teams in that span, along with All-NBA First Team once, All-NBA Second Team twice and All-NBA Third Team once.
To this day, Mullin ranks No. 4 in Warriors history in scoring (16,235 points), No. 5 in assists (3,146), No. 5 in threes made (590) and No. 1 in steals (1,360).
Although the St. John’s legend only averaged 2.2 attempts from beyond the arc a night for his whole career, he’s still considered one of the best shooters of all time. His feathery touch from the midrange and the free throw stripe allowed him to shoot 51.4 percent from the field as a Warrior, with a ridiculous 59.3 true shooting percentage.
And you know what the best part is? He’s still got it.
Mullin, like a few other guys on our list, was an incredible pure jump-shooter. If he had come around 20 years later, it’s very likely the three-pointer would have been a larger part of his arsenal, thus making him an even more efficient monster.
