Reggie Jackson will wear No. 15 for the Thunder

The Thunder’s newest addition Reggie Jackson, who Oklahoma added with the 24th pick in the draft, will wear No. 15.

Why 15?

“Fifteen fit me, I believe,” Jackson said at an introductory news conference yesterday. “I like the 5, for the five guys on the court at one time; (the number) 1, one team, one beating heart, everybody has one goal and basically that’s the championship, so I like the number.”

Geez, somebody’s trying to make Sam Presti like him.

But that’s a pretty good answer and a pretty good view into Presti’s mindset of taking Jackson. There’s a certain type of mentality a player needs to possess if he’s going to really fit the Thunder structure and it appears Jackson has it.

Jackson wore No. 0 in college at Boston College, but of course, that’s sort of taken.

Also, he knows the value of a bowtie, which is never a bad thing. And he even one-upped James Harden by adding suspenders. Not too bad. The cellphone belt clip though? I don’t know about that.
