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 26th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 24, with 14 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The 11th of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, guard alum Fred Vinson. After ending his college career at Georgia Tech, Vinson would go unselected in the 1994 NBA draft, instead playing in other domestic leagues after signing with the Atlanta Hawks for a brief stint in 1994.
The Murfreesboro, North Carolina native would return to the NBA in 1999 for his last season in the league, signing with Seattle. His stay with the team would span just eight games.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Vinson wore only jersey No. 24 and put up 1.6 points per game.
