<ul> <li>Six seasons with Thunder (2009-2014)</li> <li>2,284 points scored</li> </ul>. Guard/Forward. . Thabo Sefolosha. 9. player. 149

Thabo Sefolosha began his career with Chicago when he was drafted 13th overall in 2006 by Philadelphia and dealt to the Bulls on draft night. He played sparingly as a rookie and was a regular member of the bench rotation in his second season.

Midway through Year Three, Sefolosha was sent south to Oklahoma City in exchange for a first-round draft pick. (The selection was eventually Taj Gibson, so it wasn’t too bad of a deal for either side.)

Sefolosha immediately stepped in as a starter for what had just become new head coach Scott Brooks’ team. After coming off the bench in his first game with the Thunder, Thabo started in every single one of the other 367 games he played in OKC over the course of five-plus seasons.

Sefolosha averaged exactly one made 3-point basket per-game for the Thunder, shooting 35.3 percent from beyond the arc for his career in Oklahoma City. While he was never a scorer (his current 2017-18 scoring average of 8.2 points per game in Utah is his career-high to date), Sefolosha’s floor-spacing ability and outstanding defense were keys to the success that Oklahoma City saw under Brooks.

He left via a sign-and-trade to Atlanta following the 2013-14 season. After three seasons with the Hawks, he joined the Utah Jazz in the summer of 2017.
