Round 1 (6) Al Tucker
A 6’8″ forward from Oklahoma Baptist University, Tucker played four seasons (1967–1971) in the National Basketball Association and one season (1971–1972) in the American Basketball Association as a member of the Seattle SuperSonics, Cincinnati Royals, Chicago Bulls, Baltimore Bullets, and The Floridians. He averaged 10.1 points per game in his career and earned NBA All-Rookie Honors at the end of the 1967-68 NBA season. Tucker is notable as the Seattle SuperSonics’ first ever NBA draft pick, selected sixth overall in the 1967 NBA Draft. Tucker was also selected in the 1967 ABA Draft by the Oakland Oaks. Tucker is sometimes credited with inventing the alley-oop with his brother Gerald while at Oklahoma Baptist University.

Round 2 (19) Bob Rule
Rule quickly became one of the stars of Seattle’s expansion franchise. Named to the 1967-68 NBA All-Rookie Team, Rule’s 18.1 points per game average stood as the SuperSonics rookie record for forty seasons, until broken by Kevin Durant. His rebounding average of 9.5 is the second best ever by a SuperSonics rookie, behind only Pete Cross’s 12.0 in the 1970-71 season. Also during his rookie season, Rule scored 47 points in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers — still a SuperSonics rookie record.

Round 5 (54) Plummer Lott
Lott was a 6’5″ and 210 lb small forward whose brief career lasted 1967 to 1969. The former Seattle University star was selected by the expansion SuperSonics in the fifth round.

Lott is now a New York Supreme Court judge based in Brooklyn, New York. A famous case he presided over involved David Hampton, a con man who posed as film legend Sidney Poitier’s son — a case that inspired the play Six Degrees of Separation, and a 1994 film adaptation of the same name.
