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 24th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 22, with 20 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The first of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, guard alum Ronald Murray. After ending his college career at Shaw, Murray was picked up with the 42nd overall selection of the 2002 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native would play part of the first season of his pro career with the Bucks, dealt to Seattle in 2003. His stay with the team would span parts of four seasons, ending when he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2006.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Murray wore only jersey Nos. 15 and 22 and put up 10.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and as many assists per game.
