The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston assistant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today’s article, we will continue with the first of 14 players who wore the No. 0, guard alum Aaron Brooks. After ending his college career at Oregon was picked up with the 26th overall selection of the 2007 NBA Draft by the Rockets.
The Seattle, Washington native would play parts of the first four seasons of his pro career with Houston in his first stint with the team, with time playing for the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings before he was dealt to the Denver Nuggets in 2014.
During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Brooks wore only jersey No. 0 and put up 11.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.
