During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Tskitishvili wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 1.3 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.
The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history.
Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 20th of 29 players who wore the No. 20 jersey for the Warriors.
That player would be Golden State forward Nikoloz Tskitishvili. After starting his pro career abroad, Tskitishvili was picked up with the fifth overall selection of the 2002 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets.
The Tbilisi, Georgia native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with the Nuggets before he was dealt to the Dubs in 2005. His stay with the team would span just 12 games before he would sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves that offseason.
During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Tskitishvili wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 1.3 points and 1.0 rebounds per game.
