OKC Thunder jersey history No. 11 - Byron Houston (1994-95)

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 10th of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, forward alum Byron Houston. After ending his college career at Oklahoma State, Houston was picked up with the 27th overall selection of the 1992 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls.

The Watonga, Oklahoma native would play the first 2 seasons of his pro career with the Golden State Warriors instead, however, traded there before the start of the season, then dealt to Seattle in 1994. His stay with the team would span a single season before he was dealt to the Sacramento Kings in 1995.

During his time suiting up for the SuperSonics, Houston wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 3.4 points and 1.4 rebounds per game.
