The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.
For this article, we continue with the 23rd jersey number in the series, jersey No. 21, with 16 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The second of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics and Oklahoma City Thunder eras, wing alum Damien Wilkins. After ending his college career at Georgia, Wilkins would go unselected in the 2004 NBA draft, instead signing with the SuperSonics.
The Washington, North Carolina native would play the first 5 seasons of his pro career with Seattle/Oklahoma City, ending when he was dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2009.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Wilkins wore only jersey Nos. 12 and 21 and put up 7.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
