Al Tucker is notable as the Seattle SuperSonics' first ever NBA draft pick; he was selected sixth overall in the 1967 NBA Draft. Tucker averaged over 10 points per game in his career and was selected for the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 1968. In a rematch of the 1978 NBA Finals, the Seattle SuperSonics downed the Washington Bullets in five games to capture their first and only NBA Title in 1979.
