10 Greatest Sonics of all time
Who were the 10 greatest Supersonics of all time based solely on what they accomplished on that team?
Off the top of my head:
Gary Payton
Jack Sikma
Spencer Haywood
Dennis Johnson
Sean Kemp
Lenny Wilkens
Gus Williams
Dale Ellis
Rashard Lewis
Detlef Schrempf

Re: 10 Greatest Sonics of all time
I'd slot in Ray Allen somewhere there. Between Gus and Ellis or something. Maybe higher.
I also think Wilkens is a little high (unless you're counting what he did as a coach there, which seems a little unfair).

Re: 10 Greatest Sonics of all time
Yeah, Jesus Shuttlesworth should be on there, maybe the X man too, not sure I'd cut Schrempf or Lewis for McDaniels though

I'd put McDaniels over Lewis but not Schrempf.
Xavier was the quintessential I'll-fight-anybody-for-any-reason-at-any-time kind of hothead rookie. Until he made a mistake and popped Calvin Natt. One the greatest backpedaling jobs I've ever seen on national television.

I like the lists, but wouldn't put Payton in first place, not sure who I would pick

Gary Payton is a surefire hall-of-famer. He played in nine All-Star Games and was first-team all-NBA defense eight times as a Sonic. None of the other Seattle players have his pedigree, so who else would you consider?

That's insane.
