Top 5 all-time Golden State Warriors blocks leaders

With a rich history spanning nearly eight decades, the Golden State Warriors, originally from Philadelphia, have boasted a long line of skilled big men.
Here’s a closer look at the Warriors’ top five career block leaders, a list that includes a prominent current-day player:
Adonal Foyle landed with the Warriors via the eighth overall pick in the 1997 Draft, but he logged just one start across 99 games over his first two seasons. Still, the 6-foot-10 Foyle was already averaging 1.0 block per game by his second campaign. He proceeded to record at least 2.0 rejections per contest in four other seasons during his decade in the Bay, and he never averaged less than 1.0 in any other year despite frequently shuttling between the first and second units.
The first overall pick in the 1980 Draft, Joe Barry Carroll was unsurprisingly a force near the basket from Day 1. averaging 1.5 blocks per game as a rookie. He subsequently posted between that figure and 2.0 blocks per contest over the remaining five-plus seasons of his Warriors tenure, which was interrupted by a one-year stint in Italy (1984-85 season).
Draymond Green has carved out a distinguished NBA career despite his status as a second-round pick, and he continues to serve as a first-unit fixture for the Warriors in the 2024-25 campaign. The four-time All-Star and NBA champion is known for his ability to stuff the stat sheet. He’s recorded between 1.1 and 1.4 blocks per game in six separate seasons, including five consecutive during the 2014-15 and 2019-20 campaigns.
4. Erick Dampier, 1997-2004 (728 blocks)
Erick Dampier landed with the Warriors just a year after being selected with the 10th overall pick by the Indiana Pacers in 1996. The big man primarily served as a center and tallied between 1.2 and 2.3 blocks per contest in all but one of his seven seasons with the Warriors. Dampier was a dominant force in the paint during his final years in Golden State, averaging at least 1.9 blocks per game in each of his last three seasons.
5. Manute Bol, 1988-90, 1994-95 (592 blocks)
Manute Bol was primarily known for his defensive prowess, and he holds the distinction of being the only player in NBA history to retire with more blocks than points. Bol had already established himself as an elite shot stuffer over his first three seasons with the then Washington Bullets before his Golden State tenure, and he recorded 4.3 and 3.2 blocks per contest in his first two-season stint. Bol returned for a very brief five-game stay to wrap up his career during the 1994-95 season, averaging 1.8 blocks per contest in that span.
