Top five Oklahoma City Thunder reserves in franchise history

#5. Reggie Jackson – Point Guard.
While his exit and post Thunder career has been his undoing in Oklahoma City, Reggie Jackson had some great moments for the Thunder. This of course includes the 32 point game against the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2014 playoffs.
In 2013, Jackson stepped up to the starting role after the injury to Russell Westbrook. He led the Thunder offense and became what could have been a huge piece in the Thunder lineup. However, Jackson had other plans.

Jackson was a reliable backup, averaging just under 10 points a game as a Thunder player. He ran the Thunder offense when Westbrook went to the bench and was vital to the Thunder’s success.
These days, Jackson is a member of the Detroit Pistons. His trips to Oklahoma City have been memorable as he often engages in passive-aggressive behavior towards the Thunder. Everyone remembers the smirk tweet.

This came after the Thunder lost in game seven to the Golden State Warriors in 2016. I’m sure when these two teams squad up this season, we will see more of the same from Jackson.
