The Oklahoma City Thunder, tracing their history to the Seattle Supersonics, features a rich legacy of jersey numbers. Over the years, 51 numbers have been worn by 16 players who donned the No. 21 jersey, including guard Aaron Wiggins, selected 55th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. Wiggins, who hails from Greensboro, North Carolina, has spent all four seasons of his professional career with the Thunder. During this time, he has averaged 8.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game wearing the No. 21 jersey. As he continues to evolve as a player, his performance will be crucial for the Thunder's aspirations.
While the Supersonics' jerseys may fade from franchise history if a new Seattle team arises, the Thunder honors all players who have contributed to its journey. Wiggins represents a new generation of talent that blends the franchise's past with its future. His journey from college basketball at Maryland to an NBA role highlights the potential for growth and development within the Thunder organization.
