  "account": "The Golden State Warriors have built their teams through various methods, but the NBA draft has proven to be the most successful approach. The majority of the Warriors' top stars have either been selected directly in the draft or acquired through trades on the same night. Over the years, the Warriors have drafted many talented players from different backgrounds, including small colleges and established programs. This article examines the UNC Wilmington alumni who have been drafted by the Warriors.\n\nMatt Fish, a center, is the only UNC Wilmington player to be drafted by the Golden State Warriors. He was selected in the second round (23rd pick, 50th overall) during the 1992 NBA Draft. Fish played four seasons at UNC Wilmington but did not make the team with the Warriors. All statistics and data are attributed to Basketball Reference.",
