Top 5 Small Forwards in OKC Thunder History

Derrick McKey
Tenure- 1987-1993
Derrick McKey played six great years for the SuperSonics. In his first year, he was named to All-Rookie first team. He had lots of promise and potential for a hopeful Sonics team. In just his second year in the NBA, McKey averaged his best PPG average throughout his entire career, with 15.9.
McKey would go on to have another great third year in the league, but his last three years in Seattle were bumpy. He missed games every single year from 1990-1993. He’d go on to be a serviceable role player for the Indiana Pacers, but McKey will always be remembered for his stellar defense and all-around play during his tenure in Seattle.
