Drafted fifth overall in 1997 by Boston and coming to Seattle as part of the Ray Allen trade, Jeff Green would arrive as part of a rebuilding effort by the Sonics.  Green would be part of the move to Oklahoma City and while he was not always the most efficient scorer he did always average 10 Points per Game with the Sonics/Thunder.

From the University of Utah, Danny Vranes was a defensive minded Small Forward who would earn Second Team All Defensive honors in the 1984-85 season.  10.1 of his 13.9 Win Shares as a Sonic would come from the defensive side of the ball.  Vranes was not much of a scorer, but was able to often prevent his counterpart from putting up garish offensive stats.

Born in Bosnia, though of Serbian descent (which is who he played for Internationally after Yugoslavia), Vladimir Radmanovic was the 12th Overall Draft Pick in 2001.  The Power Forward would do his best work in five and half years he was with the SuperSonics, three times averaging over 10 Points per Game for a season.  Radmanovic was atypical of the period as he was an excellent three point shooter, not typical of a Power Forward at the time.

No, this isn’t a misprint.

Enes Kanter would play 180 Games for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and he was never close to being an All-Star but the Turkish Center has put out the most efficient production of his career while playing in OKC.  Kanter’s PERin OKC was 24.1 with a True Shooting Percentage of .612. Also a solid rebounder, Kanter would lead the NBA in 2015/16 in Offensive Rebound Percentage.  Kanter was not a starter but the home he found in Oklahoma fits his play perfectly.
