You hear a lot about "glue guys" in the NBA and the players that may not be statistical beasts but have an intangible that makes a team want to keep them.  Such a player was Nick Collison, who was a star at the University of Kansas but was a bench player with the Seattle SuperSonics/Oklahoma City Thunder for all fourteen (2004-05 to 2017-18) seasons in the NBA.  Collison rotated between Power Forward and Center, where he helped them reach the 2012 Finals and always provided leadership and stability.  While his overall averages of 20.2 Minutes, 5.9 Points and 5.2 Rebounds per Game may not seem impressive, there is a reason why his #4 was the first jersey retired after the team relocated to Oklahoma City.

Seattle is a beautiful city, but for Dale Ellis it had to be a paradise after being traded there.

The son of Hall of Famer, Rick Barry, Brent Barry was one of the most accurate shooters during his time in Seattle.  Known for his three pointer, Barry would never shoot below .400 from behind the arc, including one season (2000-01) where he led the NBA.  Barry would also lead the Association twice in Effective Field Goal Percentage and once in True Shooting Percentage. 

A defensive minded Guard, Nate McMillan played all twelve of his seasons in the National Basketball Association with the SuperSonics.  Five seasons, McMillan would average over 2 Steals per Game, including a 3.0 run in 1993/94 that would lead the league.  Twice he would make Second Team Defensive honors.  While McMillan was not known for his offense, he was a decent distributor and had solid Assists numbers throughout his career.
