Nick Collison was the 12th overall draft pick by the Seattle SuperSonics in 2005 and is now in his 14th season with the franchise and 10th in Oklahoma City.

Collison was a starter for much of his time in Seattle and for about half of his first season in OKC back in 2008-09, but shifted to a vital bench role for the next six years or so until his minutes began to dwindle. Over the past couple of years, he’s effectively been the last man on the bench for Billy Donovan‘s squad.

In his heyday, Collison was a solid defensive big man who was a little undersized to play the ‘five’ but could chase ‘fours’ around the perimeter and still play solid defense in the paint. He was never much of an offensive threat but was decent in the pick-and-roll and could knock down a mid-range jumper well enough to keep defenses honest.

Collison was an important part of the best stretch the Thunder have seen in Oklahoma City. That, combined with his longevity dating back to the franchise’s days in Seattle, have cemented his legacy as an all-time member of the Thunder.
