19. Xavier McDaniel
One of the most popular players in Seattle SuperSonics history, “The X-Man”, Xavier McDaniel was an All Star in 1998 and would average over 20 Points per Game with Seattle.  The beloved forward would help the Sonics go deep into the playoffs multiple times, even when he was used in a bench role.  McDaniel would post decent numbers as an offensive rebounder, a trait that would make him popular everywhere he went.
