As the Cavs Head to OKC, Jeff Green Looks Back on His Rookie Season
We don’t want to make 10-year veteran Jeff Green feel old, but there are probably young NBA fans out there who don’t know what a Seattle SuperSonic is.
Jeff Green was a SuperSonic as a rookie. So was Kevin Durant.
And Seattle is where the low-key, high-energy forward got his NBA start – drafted with the fifth overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft, three picks after the reigning Finals MVP. Originally “selected” by the Boston Celtics, Green was part of a blockbuster Draft Day deal that sent Ray Allen to Beantown and brought the former Georgetown star (along with Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak) to the Emerald City.
