Reggie Jackson was drafted 24th overall by the Thunder in 2011, with the franchise coming off of the high of winning the first (and second) ever playoff series in Oklahoma City. In 2010-11, OKC reached the Western Conference Finals only to run into a hot Dallas Mavericks team that went on to win the championship over LeBron James‘ Miami Heat.
Jackson was a rookie when the Thunder took the next step and went to the Finals in 2012. He played sparingly, only appearing in in 45 games and averaging just 11.1 minutes per contest.
His playing time increased a bit more the next season as he became one of the top scoring options off the bench for a team that won 60 games and earned the top seed in the West, but the Thunder were upset in the second round by Memphis.
In Jackson’s third and final full season in OKC, the Thunder won 59 games and again reached the Conference Finals. This time, Jackson was the top reserve guard, even starting 36 games due to injuries to both Russell Westbrook and Thabo Sefolosha and finishing the season third on the squad in minutes played.
Jackson scored 13.1 points in 28.5 minutes per game in his peak season in OKC. During the 2014-15 campaign, he was traded to Detroit in a three-team deal that brought Enes Kanter to Oklahoma City from Utah, completing his Thunder career with 2,202 points scored.
