Rod Higgins wore No. 22 for Golden State, anchoring a long NBA run from 1986 to 1992 and returning briefly in 1994. Drafted by Chicago in 1982 after Fresno State, his career spanned Bulls, Sonics, Spurs, Nets, six seasons with the Warriors, then Kings and Cavaliers to close out in 1994. For fantasy minds, his era-long reliability and defensive versatility across multiple teams offer a blueprint for depth wings who thread value through minutes, durability, and role clarity.

Higgins’ journey underscores how a solid floor player can stabilize a roster across seasons, especially in deeper leagues where multi-team exposure and minutes eaten matter. His jersey history also highlights how veteran wings contribute to team balance, creating nuanced narratives for dynasty rosters and micro-trend analyses tied to era-specific lineups.
