The 1968–69 Seattle SuperSonics were led by Bob Rule, whose scoring and rebounding made him the focal point of the offence and frontcourt. Lenny Wilkens balanced scoring with primary playmaking duties, while Al Tucker and Walt Hazzard supplied additional offensive production. The statistics reflect a team that relied heavily on its leading trio, combining strong inside scoring with capable ball movement but limited depth behind its top contributors.
Here is the Seattle SuperSonics 1968–69 Roster and Regular Season Player Statistics. This was the franchise’s second NBA season, finishing with a 30–52 record under head coach Al Bianchi.
