Levi Fontaine represents the only player drafted by Warriors from UMES

The Golden State Warriors have historically utilized the NBA draft to build their roster, selecting players from a wide range of institutions. While the team has scouted talent from both prominent programs and smaller colleges, history shows only one selection from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. The Warriors drafted Levi Fontaine, a guard, during the 1970 NBA Draft. Fontaine was selected in the fifth round as the 70th overall pick. He appeared in one season for the Golden State franchise following his collegiate career. The team continues to utilize the draft as a primary method for talent acquisition, though this specific connection remains limited to the 1970 selection.
