23. Sam Perkins

“Big Smooth”, “Sleepy” Sam Perkins did not arrive to Seattle as the player he once was with Dallas and the Lakers but he was still a very efficient player and would evolve into an excellent bench player for the Sonics.  He would provide a veteran presence to a very good Seattle front court and was a key contributor come playoff time.
