10. Jeff Green

Ahhhhh. We all forget that the legend of Jeff Green began in Oklahoma City.

Green was the other OKC lottery pick in 2008, joining Kevin Durant in their lone year in Seattle. He established himself as one of the top young power forwards in the game in his stint with the Thunder, showcasing his athleticism and scoring abilities.

His time in Oklahoma City was short lived however, as Green was the key piece in the trade that sent Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder. Green is now regarded as one of the most polarizing figures in the NBA; he has never grown to the full extent that league executives thought he would when he started out in Oklahoma City.
